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

backgroundThis study analyzed patient engagement with a virtual patient navigation platform (VPNP) designed to help guide bariatric surgery candidates through the complex pre-operative workup for surgery.

methodsData on baseline sociodemographic and medical history was collected on patients enrolled in the bariatric program at a single academic institution between March and May 2021. The System Usability Scale (SUS) survey was administered to assess VPNP usability. Two groups emerged: "engaged" (ENG; n = 30) who activated their accounts and completed the SUS, and "not-engaged" (NEG; n = 35) who did not activate their accounts (n = 13) or did not use the app (n = 22) and were therefore ineligible for the SUS survey.

resultsAnalyses demonstrated that only insurance status differed between groups (private insurance: 60% versus 34.3% for ENG versus NEG, respectively; p = 0.038). SUS survey analysis demonstrated high perceived usability (median score = 86.3), corresponding to the 97th percentile of usability. The top three reasons for disengagement included being too busy (22.9%), not being interested (20%), and being unsure about the purpose of the app (20%).

conclusionsThe VPNP scored in the 97th percentile of usability. However, given a majority of patients did not engage with the app, and engagement was associated with completing pre-surgery requirements faster (unpublished), future work will focus on mitigating identified reasons for patients not engaging.
