Process evaluation for the adaptation, testing and dissemination of a mobile health platform to support people with HIV and tuberculosis in Irkutsk, Siberia.
Article in BMJ open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03819374 (Improving HIV/Tuberculosis Outcomes in Irkutsk), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 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

Abstract
objectivesWe developed and tested a mobile health-based programme to enhance integration of HIV and tuberculosis (TB) care and to promote a patient-centred approach in a region of high coinfection burden. Phases of programme development included planning, stakeholder interviews and platform re-build, testing and iteration.
settingIn Irkutsk, Siberia, HIV/TB coinfection prevalence is high relative to the rest of the Russian Federation.
participantsPilot testing occurred for a cohort of 60 people with HIV and TB.
resultsKey steps emerged to ensure the mobile health-based programme could be operational and adequately adapted for the context, including platform language adaptation, optimisation of server management, iteration of platform features, and organisational practice integration. Pilot testing of the platform rebuild yielded favourable patient perceptions of usability and acceptability at 6 months (n=47 surveyed), with 18 of 20 items showing scores above 4 (on a scale from 1 to 5) on average. Development of this mobile health-based programme for integrated care of infections highlighted the importance of several considerations for tailoring these interventions contextually, including language adaptation and technological capacity, but also, importantly, contextualised patient preferences related to privacy and communication with peers and/or providers, existing regional capacity for care coordination of different comorbidities, and infection severity and treatment requirements.
conclusionsOur experience demonstrated that integration of care for TB and HIV can be well served by using multimodal mobile health-based programmes, which can enhance communication and streamline workflow between providers across multiple collaborating institutions and improve continuity between inpatient and outpatient care settings. Further study of programme impact on contextual disease-related stigma and social isolation as well as evaluation of implementation on a broader scale for HIV care is currently under way. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03819374.
