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

Mobile health data capture applications (mHDA's) may improve communication between healthcare providers and patients. However, there is limited literature about the use of mHDA's facilitating clinical trials. In this study, the effectiveness of an application, supporting follow-up visits of cancer trial participants was investigated. Twenty participants were provided with an e-questionnaire via the mHDA. Participants rated the usability of the application as high performing (mean Systems Usability Scale 87 points). The research team rated the mHDA as highly applicable and efficient in preparing visits. Anamnesis, physical examination and agreement on further policy were performed within an average of 31 min.
