Smartphone digital phenotyping, surveys, and cognitive assessments for global mental health: Initial data and clinical correlations from an international first episode psychosis study.
Article in Digital health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06043778 (Digital Implementation Support to Achieve Uptake and Integration of Task-Shared Care for Schizophrenia in Primary Care in India), which is not on this map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
Objective: To examine feasibility and acceptability of smartphone mental health app use for symptom, cognitive, and digital phenotyping monitoring among people with schizophrenia in India and the United States. Methods: Participants in Boston, USA and Bhopal and Bangalore, India used a smartphone app to monitor symptoms, play cognitive games, access relaxation and psychoeducation resources and for one month, with an initial clinical and cognitive assessment and a one-month follow-up clinical assessment. Engagement with the app was compared between study sites, by clinical symptom severity and by cognitive functioning. Digital phenotyping data collection was also compared between three sites. Results: By Kruskal-Wallis rank-sum test, we found no difference between app activities completed or digital phenotyping data collected across the three study sites. App use also did not correlate to clinical or cognitive assessment scores. When using the app for symptom monitoring, preliminary findings suggest app-based assessment correlate with standard cognitive and clinical assessments. Conclusions: Smartphone app for symptom monitoring and digital phenotyping for individuals with schizophrenia appears feasible and acceptable in a global context. Clinical utility of this app for real-time assessments is promising, but further research is necessary to determine the long-term efficacy and generalizability for serious mental illness.
