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

Objective: Due to high workloads and insufficient counseling time in ambulatory care pharmacy, outpatient pharmacists for pediatric patients in China proposed a mobile health application (mHealth app) that they considered could provide patient counseling more efficiently. To improve it accordingly, we need to design a more specific and multi-dimensional evaluation method to obtain pediatric caregivers' evaluations of a mHealth app. Methods: A cross-sectional survey on five dimensions (transmission, accuracy, accessibility, completeness, and experience) of the mHealth app was conducted using a random questionnaire among outpatient caregivers at a children's hospital. Findings: We received 478 valid questionnaires from 500 caregivers. The Item-Level Content Validity Index (I-CVI) indicated the content validity of the questions (I-CVI =1.000). The Content Validity Index for Scales (S-CVI) confirmed their content validity (S-CVI =1.000). The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) of test-retest reliability were acceptable (0.806≤ ICC ≤0.869). The mean scores for transmission, accuracy, accessibility, and completeness were more than 3.5 when the experience was 2.1. Caregivers of different ages agreed that their accuracy was satisfactory; however, their experience was not. Caregivers aged over 50 years did not recognize its transmission and accessibility, whereas caregivers aged under 29 years and over 50 years were not satisfied with its completeness. Conclusion: The accuracy of the mHealth app is excellent; the transmission and accessibility need to give the silver generation time to accept and adapt, and experience and completeness should be improved. The five-dimensional assessment model can also be used to evaluate other mHealth apps for patient counseling.
