Smartphone apps pertaining to aquaculture sector in Bangladesh: Current status and future potentials.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In recent years, the aquaculture sector in Bangladesh has experienced significant technological advancements, notably the adoption of smartphone applications. This empirical study evaluates the current status of smartphone apps available in the aquaculture industry of the country using data obtained from the internet and field surveys. The study identified 41 smartphone apps currently used in the sector, where 58.53 % are related to pond-based aquaculture, 14.63 % are designed for biofloc system, 4.87 % pertain to cage aquaculture and 4.87 % marketing-aided corporate-related apps, 9.75 % focus on disease and treatment-related, and 7.31 % fall into miscellaneous categories. The "Poultry Animals and Aqua Index (PAAI)" app, which addresses aquaculture pharmaceutical inputs and fish disease treatment guidelines, emerged as the most downloaded app in this domain. Pearson correlation analysis indicated that app size or user ratings did not influence app downloads. The study also found that approximately 57.66 % of fish farmers are aware of these smartphone apps. Private fisheries professionals were the main driving forces behind the use of these apps, accounting for 52 % of the information spread. Despite mixed levels of satisfaction among farmers, about 25 % expressed a positive experience. Most of the farmers (57.66 %) acknowledged the awareness and beneficial impacts of using these apps in aquaculture. This study enhances the understanding of smartphone apps usage in Bangladesh to promote the aquaculture industry, highlighting its potential to promote industry growth, alleviate poverty, and contribute to economic development.
