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

backgroundHypertension disorders are relatively common in pregnant women and often persist in the postpartum period. Few studies are available regarding the self-management of postpartum hypertension via the eHealth system. This study aimed to develop a self-management eHealth system for women with postpartum hypertension during the postpartum period.

methodsWe adopted a multi-platform system for this research, not only for use on the web interface but also on smartphones. The proposed system possessed three features: (1) the population was limited to postnatal women with hypertension; (2) a self-care record, which allowed postnatal women to keep track of their blood pressure, pulse, weight, medication record, exercise record, and risk factor assessment; and (3) through this system, nurse-midwives could keep track of postnatal women's health status maintaining the complete record and could communicate directly with the users if their health monitor values reach beyond normal range.

resultsThirty-nine postnatal women with postpartum hypertension were recruited to the study. A survey to evaluate the usability and satisfaction of the proposed e-health application system was completed by these women. The usability rate of the system reached 92.4% (46.2% satisfied and 46.2% strongly satisfied), which suggested that the system was helpful to the users. The satisfaction rate of the system reached 94.9% (43.6% satisfied and 51.3% strongly satisfied), which suggested that the system was acceptable to the users.

conclusionThis proposed system has been developed completely with user experience and professional advice from experts. Postnatal women could gain important postpartum-related knowledge and access their related health records and other information easily via their smartphones or computers. During the postpartum period, an eHealth application system can effectively assist women with hypertension to manage their blood pressure and related postnatal healthcare issues.
