WeCanConnect: Development of a Community-Informed mHealth Tool for People with Disabilities and Cancer.
Article in Progress in community health partnerships : research, education, and action, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCancer care for people with disabilities (PWD) is rife with uncertainty and obstacles. Not only do PWD have to contend with cancer and treatment-related sequelae, but also its impact on disabling conditions and functional capacity, as well as a health care system lacking accessibility and disability competence. Peer support can address important needs for emotional and informational support. mHealth tools for smart phones, tablets, or laptops hold promise to deliver such support in an accessible and scalable manner. This concept is unexplored for use among PWD with cancer.
objectivesTo describe a community-based participatory study that 1) identifies consumer-reported support needs and priorities among PWD and cancer and 2) integrates consumer perspectives into the design of an mHealth cancer support tool to address these needs and priorities.
methodsPart 1 is a thematic analysis of semistructured, qualitative interviews with a purposive sample of experts in health and cancer care for PWD (n = 7) and a convenience sample of cancer survivors with preexisting disabilities (n = 9). In part 2, results were integrated to develop an mHealth peer support tool to addresses identified needs.
resultsThemes included 1) barriers across the cancer care continuum, 2) strengths within the disability community, and 3) recommendations for mHealth and peer support. Based on the qualitative findings, we designed a mHealth tool for peer support and information sharing among PWD with cancer.
conclusionConsumer-informed mHealth tools hold great potential to leverage strengths in the disability community to address emotional and informational needs created by a lack of disability competence across the cancer care continuum.
