Investigating the Interoperable Health App Ecosystem at the Start of the 21st Century Cures Act.
Review in AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The objective of this study was to investigate the state of the interoperable mobile health application (app) ecosystem at the start of the 21st Century Cures Act to understand the opportunities currently available to patients for accessing and using their computable clinical data. Thus, we sought to identify third-party apps in the Apple App and Google Play Stores that seem to be capable of automatically downloading clinical data via a FHIR-based application programming interface through a targeted review of health apps. We found that few of the apps in this review have this capability (1.4% of 1,272 iOS apps and 0.6% of 1,449 Android apps). Ultimately, our results suggest that this is a nascent marketspace. If barriers to app development are not identified and addressed, and efforts are not made to educate patients and improve discoverability of apps, it could mean that patients will not benefit from these interoperability measures.
