A mobile delivered self-exercise program for female farmers.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionFemale farmers commonly experience musculoskeletal pain in the back, knee, and shoulder. Despite their obvious advantages in reducing musculoskeletal pain, face-to-face exercise programs are limited by geographical and physical barriers. Thus, we decided to introduce eHealth technology to farmers' musculoskeletal health care. Using a mobile application (app), we aim to provide a tailored self-exercise program for shoulder, knee, and back pain in female farmers in rural areas after a musculoskeletal health check-up.
methodsThis study is planned as 2 randomized control studies (MObile Delivered self-Exercise [MODE] phase I and phase II). We plan to recruit 200 female farmers aged 41 to 70 years. Initially, the shoulders, knees, and low back will be evaluated to provide individualized exercise programs. In MODE-I (single-blinded: evaluator), the subjects will be randomly allocated to experimental (n = 100) and control (n = 100) groups using a computer-generated sequence. Both groups will perform a 3-month self-exercise using a smartphone app or physical education data (booklets), respectively. Outcomes including exercise completion will be assessed at 3 months. In MODE-II, after subject random allocation, the experimental and control groups will perform exercise using a smartphone app with and without real-time feedback, respectively. Every 3 months, the level of the exercise program will be evaluated and the difficulty level will be adapted accordingly. After MODE-II is completed, all subjects will undergo close-out assessment. DISCUSSION: This will be the first attempt to compare methods using booklets and apps to identify effective ways of providing personalized self-exercise programs according to musculoskeletal health stages by evaluating female farmers (MODE-I). This will help clarify whether the mobile app is effective for self-exercise compared to a conventional booklet. The MODE-II study will help to assess the effect of providing feedback through the mobile app. Finally, we will evaluate musculoskeletal health according to the degree of participation over 12 months to confirm the effect of self-exercise. Our study should aid in managing musculoskeletal health for farmers living in rural areas and help promote health in the "untact" era.
