A Novel App for Assessing the Caregivers' Physical Activity: A Pilot/Feasibility Study.
Article in Clinical nursing research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study sought to determine the feasibility and clinical value of using a novel mobile application (app) to record the muscle/physical activity (PA) of caregivers. In all, 23 caregivers were enrolled and they were trained to use the app and a wearable device that automatically recorded their care activities and PA/burden. Data were collected for 42 days. Muscle activity was measured for 3 weeks during maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) and PA. Approximately 80% of the caregivers agreed that they conveniently used the wearable device through the mobile app. The most active %MVIC was noted for the back muscles during feeding assistance. As regard subjective pain evaluation, back pain was the most prevalent and pain level in the left knee was the highest. Incorporating mobile apps with wearable devices to record every activity of the caregivers may be feasible and can provide valuable clinical data for optimizing their pain management.
