User experience of a self-management WeChat applet for patients with neurogenic bladder: A qualitative approach.
Article in International journal of nursing sciences, 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
Objectives: This study aimed to determine patients' perceived benefits of a WeChat applet for self-management of patients with neurogenic bladder (NGB) and identify the key factors hindering their adoption. Methods: In the qualitative study, 19 NGB patients were invited for semi-structured interviews. They were hospitalized in the rehabilitation departments of two tertiary hospitals in Shenzhen and tried out the self-management applet for two weeks. Data were analyzed using the content analysis method. Results: The results indicated that the WeChat applet of self-management was helpful and embraced by the NGB patients. Three perceived benefits were identified 1) being accessible, flexible, and intuitive to users, 2) driving bladder self-management, and 3) directing the way for care partners and family members. Challenges hindering the adoption of the applet included 1) negative attitudes of patients towards bladder self-management and patient characteristics, 2) concerns about the risks of mHealth, and 3) the necessity of applet upgrading. Conclusion: This study showed feasibility of the WeChat applet for self-management among NGB patients to meet their needs for access to information during hospitalization and after discharge. The study also identified facilitators and barriers to patient use, providing valuable information for healthcare providers to implement mHealth interventions to promote self-management among NGB patients.
