Effects of Smartphone-Based Hospital-Family Transitional Care on Symptom Burden and Quality of Life in Elderly Patients with Depression.
Article in Alpha psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: To explore the effects of smartphone-based hospital-family transitional care on symptom burden and quality of life in elderly patients with depression. Methods: This study retrospective analyzed the clinical data of 168 elderly patients with depression admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to January 2024. A total of 79 patients were included in the reference group (routine transitional management), and 89 subjects were included in the observation group (smartphone-based hospital-family transitional care). The symptom burden and quality of life in both groups before and after management were compared. The main statistical methods used in this study were the chi-squared test and the Mann-Whitney U test. Results: Before discharge, no significant difference existed in Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) scores, P300 latency, P300 amplitude, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores, and the scores of each domain in the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL)-BREF between the two groups (all Conclusions: Smartphone-based hospital-family transitional care can improve the symptom burden, cognitive function, and quality of life of elderly patients with depression.
