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

Existing mobile health apps for asthma predominantly focus on patient education related to self-management. Through a federally-funded project in the U.S., we developed ASTHMAXcel Voice, a novel app that incorporates voice biomarkers and social determinants of health to enhance asthma self-management, shared decision-making, and facilitation of referrals for low-income populations through personalized digital data and collaborations with multiple health services and stakeholders. As part of the user-centered design effort, we conducted a series of user needs assessment focus groups with patients, providers, and community health workers. The results provide valuable insights into (1) perceived usefulness of ASTHMAXcel Voice particularly the new feature utilizing voice biomarkers, and (2) potential adoption and use barriers, and mitigation strategies, when implementing the app in real-world settings.
