Development and efficacy of mobile application to improve medication adherence for persons with cardiac disease.

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
backgroundPatients with cardiovascular disease need to adhere to their treatment and care recommendations to prevent the progression of their condition and improve their quality of life. In this regard, this study was conducted to develop a mobile application and test its effectiveness in improving medication adherence among persons with cardiac disease.
methodsThe study was conducted in two stages. The first stage involved the preparation of the "Mobile Application for Persons with Cardiac Disease" using the cascade model. In the second stage, 121 patients who were hospitalized in the cardiac intensive care unit of Ayatollah Taleghani Medical Education Center of Tehran from March to August 2023 were enrolled. The participants were randomly assigned to either the control group (63 people) or the intervention group (58 people). The study collected data using a medication adherence questionnaire on the 7th, 14th, and 21st day after discharge and compared the results with the control group. The data were analyzed using SPSS 20.
resultsThe average age of the control group was 56.75 ± 11.38 years, and the average age of the intervention group was 57.03 ± 11.55 years. The comparison of the average medication adherence with independent t-tests showed a significant difference between the intervention and control groups on the 7th, 14th, and 21st day after discharge (P<0.01). The results of the repeated measures test in each group also showed that the difference between the groups increased over time (P<0.001).
conclusionThe results of the study showed that the mobile application is effective in improving medication adherence among heart patients.
