Using a mobile application for antiretroviral therapy adherence in people living with HIV: A longitudinal pilot study.
Article in Southern African journal of HIV medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: The success of HIV treatment hinges on consistent adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART). Objectives: To conduct a longitudinal pilot study to assess the feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness of a mobile app to improve ART adherence. Method: This study included adults living with HIV and using ART, who were allocated into two groups according to their willingness to use the app: users of the mobile application for ART management (Mobile) and non-users (Control). The application was developed by the researchers, and uses an alarm system to record ART use. Adherence was also assessed using the ' Results: A significant difference in adherence was observed between the Mobile and Control groups ( Conclusion: The application was not effective in improving ART adherence and showed low viability, but was considered acceptable among the participants.
