Evaluation of a mobile-application educational intervention on the knowledge, attitude, and practice of patients in postoperative care for lumbar disk herniation surgery: A randomized control trial.

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
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the impact of a mobile-based educational program on patients' postoperative care for lumbar disk herniation surgery. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted at Fayaz-Bakhsh Hospital, Tehran, Iran. Patients with lumbar disc herniation surgery experience were randomized to the intervention and control groups (learning with the LUmbar CAring Training-app). Participants' knowledge, attitudes, and practices of postoperative care for lumbar disc herniation surgery were assessed using a validated questionnaire at three-time points: pre-test (baseline), post-test one (immediately after program completion), and post-test two (8 weeks after program completion). The primary outcome measures were knowledge, attitudes, and practices scores variations. Secondary outcomes were not considered in our study. Results: In total, 150 patients were enrolled, with 75 patients in each group. Patients in the intervention group demonstrated increased knowledge, modified attitudes, and practice than those in the control group ( Conclusion: Mobile-application-based education was a practical and feasible approach to improve patients' postoperative care for lumbar disc herniation surgery in Iran.
