1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 mobile devices by healthcare providers has transformed many aspects of clinical practice. Mobile devices and medical applications provide many benefits, perhaps most significantly increased access to point-of-care (POC) tools, which has been shown to support better clinical decision making and improved patient outcomes. In LMICs, where computer-based technology is limited, the use of mobile technology has the potential to immensely increase access to point of care tools. In this study, we conducted an interventional, pre-post study to determine whether the use of a medical application could help healthcare providers accurately recognize and diagnose AKI. After preparing 20 clinical vignettes based on AKI cases from our center Global Snapshot study report, we asked 50 last year medical students to identify the presence and stage of AKI first without and then with the use of the IRA SLANH App (IRA SLANH app, Island of the Moon
