Effectiveness of a reminder card system versus a mobile application to improve medication adherence among asthma patients in a tertiary care hospital.
Article in Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

This study aimed to assess and compare the effectiveness of a reminder card system versus a mobile application to improve the medication adherence of asthma patients in a tertiary care hospital.
methodsThis prospective interventional study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital. The scores were obtained from the Morisky medication adherence scale.
resultsIn the card group, comparison of the baseline and follow-up scores for medication adherence showed a mean difference of 3.44,
conclusionProvision of proper interventional tools can improve asthma medication adherence. In this study, the mobile application was found to be more effective than medication reminder cards.
