Knowledge, attitude and practice toward the mHealth app Mawid: a cross-sectional study.
Article in International health, 2023. 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
backgroundThe Mawid app is a mobile appointment system that may improve access to primary healthcare services in Saudi Arabia. This study investigates the Saudis' level of knowledge of the Mawid app, their attitude towards it and their practice or use of it.
methodsA cross-sectional design was used. The data were collected using an online survey via Google Forms from April to May 2021. Linear regression and binomial logit models were used to answer the research questions.
resultsA total of 916 responses were collected. There were significant effects of gender, age, marital status, occupation, income and region on knowledge scores (p<0.05). Higher knowledge scores predict greater agreement that the Mawid app facilitates access to health services (p<0.001). The probability of using the app is predicted to be greater among individuals who agree that the Mawid app facilitates access to care (p<0.001). The probability of using the app is predicted to be higher among individuals who have a higher frequency of using primary health centres (p<0.001).
conclusionsThe Ministry of Health has declared eHealth as a transformational enabler for patient-centric care. This study found that the Mawid app facilitated access and improved healthcare services. Knowledge positively influences attitudes toward the app and subsequently its use.
