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

aimTo explore the perceptions of patients with prostate cancer undergoing androgen deprivation therapy towards mobile health interventions.

designThe study employed a qualitative descriptive design.

methodsSeventeen participants were recruited from tertiary care hospitals from November 2022 to June 2023. The collected data were subsequently analysed using a content analysis approach.

resultsThe main themes were facilitators, barriers, information needs, emotional and social needs, and self-management needs. Facilitators for using mobile health included support from healthcare professionals and family, competitive design features and user-friendly interfaces. Barriers included negative past experiences with technology and a satisfactory current state of health. Informational support included those patients who expressed a desire for timely, accurate information integrated with traditional Chinese medical principles. Regarding emotional support, patients emphasised their independence, preferring not to burden family and friends, showing disinterest in mindfulness and relaxation therapies, and generally disliking online interactions with fellow patients. For self-management, medication reminders and rehabilitation guidance were seen as vital tools to enhance supportive care.

conclusionThe study highlights the importance of customising mobile healthcare applications to meet unique needs among patients with prostate cancer and enhance their engagement and satisfaction. Understanding their specific preferences enables the development of more effective mobile healthcare applications. REPORTING
