Prenatal mobile applications reported in the scientific literature: a scoping review.
Article in Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da U S P, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveTo map the prenatal mobile applications described and/or evaluated in the scientific literature.
methodScoping review, based on JBI recommendations, with a time frame from 2017 to 2022. The searches were carried out in October/2023 in the following databases/portals: Lilacs via BVS, Web of Science, MEDLINE, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Scopus, CINAHL, and the Thesis and Dissertation Bank of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES).
resultsForty-nine studies were analyzed, including 45 articles, three dissertations and one thesis, published in Portuguese and English. The applications are intended for health education/self-care (46.9%), clinical monitoring (28.5%), for use by health professionals (16.3%), research/data collection (6.1%) and professional education (2%).
conclusionThe applications described and/or evaluated in the studies are diverse in their purposes and public and confirm the inclusion of mobile technology in the care and health monitoring of pregnant women.
