Mobile Application-Based Interventions for People with Heart Failure: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of nursing management, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Aim: To examine the effectiveness of mobile health application-based interventions on mortality, hospitalization rate, self-care, and quality of life in people with heart failure. Background: Mobile health application-based interventions are reported to potentially help people with heart failure improve health-related clinical outcomes. However, evidence on the effects of mobile health application-based interventions on mortality, hospitalization, self-care, and quality of life remains inconclusive and limited. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted in six databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, PsycINFO, Web of Science, EMBASE, and CENTRAL) to identify relevant studies from inception to 21 October 2023. Two authors independently extracted the data and assessed the risk of bias using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. The meta-analysis was conducted in Review Manager (version 5.4) and the statistical software R 4.3.3. Sensitivity analysis and subgroup analysis were also performed. The certainty of the evidence was evaluated by the GRADE approach. Results: Twenty-four studies involving 2886 participants were identified in this review. The pooled analysis showed that mobile health application-based interventions had statistically significant beneficial effects on reducing heart failure-related hospitalization (RR = 0.72, 95% CI 0.57 to 0.91, Conclusions: Mobile health application-based interventions were effective at reducing heart failure-related hospitalization and improving quality of life in people with heart failure. More well-designed randomized controlled trials are needed to strengthen the evidence.
