The Use of Mobile Applications for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Tumors in Orthopaedic Oncology - a Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Journal of medical systems, 2021. 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
The use of smartphone apps is an essential part of everyday life. Mobile applications offer enormous opportunities for dealing with challenges in public health, and their number increases every day. This paper aims to review the existing literature on mobile applications in orthopaedic oncology and to summarize the current mobile applications for musculoskeletal tumors. A systematic literature review was conducted regarding articles on mobile applications in orthopaedic and trauma surgery. The focus was on identifying mobile applications that can be used in the treatment of patients with musculoskeletal tumors. Two reviewers independently assessed study eligibility, extracted data, and appraised methodological quality. In addition, the Apple App Store and Google Play Store were searched for suitable mobile applications. Ninety-one articles describing a mobile application in orthopaedic and trauma surgery were identified. Three articles focused on a mobile application for musculoskeletal tumors. Additionally, seven mobile applications were available in the App/Play Stores dealing with bone or soft tissue tumors in orthopaedic oncology without corresponding scientific articles. Increasing numbers of mobile applications are being developed in orthopaedic and trauma surgery. Currently, only three scientific articles on mobile applications in orthopaedic oncology are present, yet several more applications are available without scientific medical evaluation. Since mobile applications can facilitate the everyday life of orthopaedic and trauma surgeons, it is worthwhile to be aware of new developments in this field. A regular scientific evaluation of the subject is important in order to classify the significance of these applications.
