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

backgroundIn the second stage of the Electronic Health Record Sharing System (eHRSS) development, a mobile app (eHealth app) was launched to further enhance collaborative care among the public sector, the private sector, the community, and the caregivers.

objectiveThis study aims to investigate the factors associated with the downloading and utilization of the app, as well as the awareness, perception, and future improvement of the app.

methodsWe collected 2110 surveys; respondents were stratified into 3 groups according to their status of enrollment in the eHRSS. The primary outcome measure was the downloading and acceptance of the eHealth app. We collected the data on social economics factors, variables of the Technology Acceptance Model and Theory of Planned Behavior. Any factors identified as significant in the univariate analysis (P<.20) will be included in a subsequent multivariable regression analysis model. All P values ≤.05 will be considered statistically significant in multiple logistic regression analysis. The structural equation modeling was performed to identify interactions among the variables.

resultsThe respondents had an overall high satisfaction rate and a positive attitude toward continuing to adopt and recommend the app. However, the satisfaction rate among respondents who have downloaded but not adopted the app was relatively lower, and few of them perceived that the downloading and acceptance processes are difficult. A high proportion of current users expressed a positive attitude about continuing to adopt and recommend the app to friends, colleagues, and family members. The behavioral intention strongly predicted the acceptance of the eHealth app (β=.89; P<.001). Attitude (β=.30; P<.001) and perceived norm; β=.37; P<.001) played important roles in determining behavioral intention, which could predict the downloading and acceptance of the eHealth app (β=.14; P<.001).

conclusionsDespite the high satisfaction rate among the respondents, privacy concerns and perceived difficulties in adopting the app were the major challenges of promoting eHealth. Further promotion could be made through doctors and publicity. For future improvement, comprehensive health records and tailored health information should be included.
