[Application areas of medical apps in otolaryngology].
Article in HNO, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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.

Abstract
The use of medical apps is becoming increasingly important as it offers new solutions in healthcare. Steadily growing computing and storage capacities in combination with high-precision sensors make smartphones effective tools for medical diagnostics and treatment. The use of this technology offers immense advantages, such as direct availability or independence from opening times. However, it also harbors risks such as unfiltered data storage and transmission. The consulting physician should exercise great care when selecting and recommending apps, particularly since only a few have been certified as medical devices to date. There is a steadily growing range of products on the market for otorhinolaryngology. The scientific evidence and quality of the apps vary widely, but tools exist for their validation by physicians and patients. The present training course is intended to help increase knowledge in this new, rapidly developing area.
