Mobile Access to Medical Records in Heart Transplantation Aftercare: Mixed-Methods Study Assessing Usability, Feasibility and Effects of a Mobile Application.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundPatient access to medical records can improve quality of care. The phellow application (app) was developed to provide patients access to selected content of their medical record. It was tested at a heart transplantation (HTx) outpatient clinic. The aims of this study were (1) to assess usability of phellow, (2) to determine feasibility of implementation in routine care, and (3) to study the effects app use had on patients' self-management.
methodsUsability was measured quantitatively through the System Usability Scale (SUS). Furthermore, usability, feasibility, and effects on self-management were qualitatively assessed through interviews with users, non-users, and health care providers.
resultsThe SUS rating (
conclusionsTo be feasible for implementation in routine care, usability problems should be addressed. Feedback on the effect of app use was encouraging. Accompanying research is crucial to monitor usability improvements and to further assess effects of app use on patients.
