The Age Limit Does Not Exist: A Pilot Usability Assessment of a SMS-Messaging and Smartwatch-Based Intervention for Older Adults with Depression.
Article in AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Current treatments for major depressive disorder are either less effective for older adults (i.e. pharmacotherapy) or are challenging to extend to community settings (i.e. psychotherapy). To improve and extend mental health treatment for older adults, our team has expanded a previously developed streamlined talk-therapy model to incorporate a technology package that includes patient-reported outcome questions (sent via SMS) and a smartwatch. The goal of this pilot study was to assess and improve the usability, usefulness, and acceptability of the technology package. We completed a pilot feasibility and usability assessment with 15 older adults. Participants demonstrated the feasibility of use of the intervention, successfully completing 99% of their assigned tasks during the pilot. Findings were used to address usability barriers in preparation for future clinical trials. Our results highlight the importance completing usability assessment and involving older adults in the intervention design process when incorporating technology into care.
