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

backgroundActive patient engagement may improve their perioperative experience and outcomes. We sought to evaluate the use of a mobile device application (App) for patient engagement and patient reported outcomes (PROs) assessment following robotic lung cancer surgery.

methodsPatients with suspected lung cancer undergoing robotic resection between January-May 2019, were offered the SeamlessMD App, which was customized to meet requirements of the thoracic enhanced recovery pathway. The App guided patients through preoperative preparation, in-hospital recovery, and post-op discharge care with personalized reminders, task lists, education, progress tracking, and surveys.

resultsFifty patients participated in the study (22.1%). Of the 50 patients, 20 (40%) patients completed the preoperative compliance survey, and 31 (62%) completed the hospital satisfaction survey. A total of 62 inpatient recovery checks were completed, identifying non-compliance with incentive spirometer use in 2 (3.2%) and patient worries about self-care after discharge in 18 (29%) instances. Postoperative health-checks were completed by 27 (54%) patients with a median of 3 [0-17] completed surveys per patient. Patient reported symptom scores up to 30 days after surgery, demonstrating a significant decrease maximum pain level (P=0.002) and anxiety scores (P<0.001). The App enabled health-checks improved confidence and decreased worries in over 80% of patients. Nine patients (40.9%) reported the health-checks helped avoid 1+ calls and 4 (18.2%) reported the App helped avoid 1+ visits to the hospital. Over 74% of patients reported the App was very or extremely useful in each of the preoperative, inpatient, and post-discharge settings.

conclusionsA mobile device platform may serve as an effective mechanism to record perioperative PROs and satisfaction while facilitating patient-provider engagement in perioperative care.
