Patients' Usability Experience With a Postoperative Follow-Up Web Application.
Article in Journal of patient experience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Surgical complications increase morbidity, mortality, and costs, underscoring the need for effective postoperative follow-up. Digital tools can reduce complications, but their usability remains unexplored in Ecuador. This study evaluated the usability of a postoperative monitoring app among 62 patients from a public hospital using the System Usability Scale (SUS). The mean SUS score was 65.69 (SD = 18.68), indicating moderate usability. Participants rated ease of use (M = 3.31) and confidence (M = 3.40) favorably but reported challenges with complexity (M = 1.85) and need for support (M = 1.56). Younger and more educated users scored higher, though differences were not statistically significant; no gender-based variations emerged. Positive perceptions were associated with ease of use and system integration, while perceived complexity and need for support negatively impacted the user experience. These findings suggest that optimizing the interface and strengthening user education may equip younger adults with digital tools that facilitate long-term engagement and adoption across future generations.
