1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We completed a pilot study of a novel adult congenital heart disease-specific mobile application. Twenty-eight patients with congenital heart disease from across the US were identified by the Adult Congenital Heart Association, a patient advocacy organization. These patients were asked to complete a 6-month trial of the MyHeartApp mobile application (app), to use the app as part of their clinical care, and to complete a survey at the conclusion of the pilot period. We found that app use is potentially helpful in improving care quality with good ease of use and the potential to facilitate patient-provider communication, but compliance with regular use is poor. Although potentially beneficial, the clinical utility of mobile health apps, even in a young and motivated population, will depend on developing techniques aimed at improving compliance.
