Factors impacting the use of the NZ COVID Tracer application in New Zealand".
Review in Smart health (Amsterdam, Netherlands), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 COVID-19 pandemic has clearly created devastating damage on world economics and public health. This project identifies key concerns of end-users toward the NZ COVID-19 contact tracing app in New Zealand. The key research objective in this study is to understand the usage behaviour towards the mobile application NZ COVID-19 Tracer used for contact tracing purposes. Secondly, the study explores the reasons for using the contact tracing app. Thirdly, it examines the relationship between usage behaviour of the NZ-COVID Tracer app with age, the user's perceived health, attitude towards COVID-19, whether family or friends are infected by COVID-19, trust in maintaining social distancing, trust in data privacy, smartphone usage and the media's role in motivating people to use this app. Consequently, understanding these issues and challenges could help improve the usage of this contact tracing app, which in turn would contribute to better public health outcomes in disease management and containment. Findings of the study reveals that age, smartphone usage behaviour, and trust in privacy data protection from the app provider has a statistically significant relationship on usage behaviour of the NZ COVID Tracer app. Self-perceived health status and attitudes towards the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a significant relationship on NZ COVID Tracer app usage behaviour. While social media, such as Facebook, has been shown to be the most popular source of news for COVID-19 among New Zealanders, it is television that acted as a motivational tool to encourage people to use the contact tracing mobile application and to practice other measures to help protect against the COVID-19 pandemic.
