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

objectiveThe goal of this paper was to understand the applicability of the Information Technology (IT) Implementation Framework, a multi-level approach to identify factors that impede or promote IT usage, for incorporating a mHealth technology for consumers in the community setting.

methodsA case study of the implementation of the Sense2Quit App for smoking cessation among people living with HIV was examined to parse out the factors within the framework that are applicable to mHealth technology and the factors that may need modification for use of this framework within this context.

resultsFindings suggest that phases two through five of the framework were applicable to our study and phase one was not.

conclusionFindings support the use of the theory for implementation of mHealth technology for promoting consumer health at the community level. This use case may be useful for stakeholders evaluating implementation of mHealth for patients with chronic conditions as it highlights the need to identify preferences of app specifications, personal habits, and various factors such as confidentiality and digital literacy which may challenge sustained usage.
