Achieving the potential of mHealth in medicine requires challenging the ethos of care delivery.

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
Mobile Health (mHealth) interventions have received a mix of praise and excitement, as well as caution and even opposition over recent decades. While the rapid adoption of mHealth solutions due to the COVID-19 pandemic has weakened resistance to integrating these digital approaches into practice and generated renewed interest, the increased reliance on mHealth signals a need for optimizing development and implementation. Despite an historically innovation-resistant medical ethos, mHealth is becoming a normalized supplement to clinical practice, highlighting increased demand. Reaching the full potential of mHealth requires new thinking and investment. The current challenge to broaden mHealth adoption and to ensure equity in access may be overcoming a "design purgatory," where innovation fails to connect to practice. We recommend leveraging the opportunity presented by the COVID-19 pandemic to disrupt routine practice and with a new focus on theory-driven replicability of mHealth tools and strategies aimed at medical education and professional organizations.
