Mobile Health for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Patients' Preferences and Perception of Patient-Centeredness.

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
backgroundThe increasingly fast development of mobile health technologies holds significant value for individuals dealing with mental health conditions. However, inadequate consideration of patients' preferences and expectations undermines real-world outcomes, including sustained adherence. Driven by the belief that specific characteristics, such as youth and higher education, of individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder make them suitable for digital adoption, we investigated mHealth-related desirability factors within this patient group.
methodsFifty-one conveniently selected adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder filled in a self-report questionnaire about symptom self-management preferences, with an emphasis on assessing mobile health options and perceptions of patient-centeredness.
resultsThe smartphone phone app emerged as the top choice of most of the sample for receiving information about symptom status (82.4%), obtaining general information about obsessive-compulsive disorder (74.5%), and symptom self-registration (66.7%), with no significant effect of sex or living location. Although only 23.5% of participants were using a health-related app, most expressed interest in using it for receiving symptom management tips (98.1%), medical advice (94.2%), symptom evolution updates (90.2%), lifestyle information (92.2%), medication tracking (88.2%) and short symptom self-reports (90.2%). Median expectations regarding mobile health's impact on patient-centeredness, satisfaction, and adherence were positive or very positive.
conclusionsOur data confirm that individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder exhibit strong inclinations and optimistic expectations toward technology-based solutions. We highlight some of the preferences within this patient group, which can inform the design of practical, real-world applications.
