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
Objectives: This study investigates the feasibility of the Deaf in Touch Everywhere (DITE™) app, which was developed to provide virtual interpretation services through teleconferencing; and factors influencing adaptation and utilization by stakeholders in simulated healthcare consultations. Methods: Focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted involving three stakeholder groups: Malaysian sign language (BIM) users (BNUs), BIM interpreters (JBIMs) and healthcare providers (HCPs). They were involved in simulated medical consultations via video conferencing using the DITE™ app. Interview questionnaires were designed using the extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). Results were thematically analysed. Results: Nineteen participants (six BNUs, six JBIMs, seven HCPs) participated in three FGDs. Findings were categorized according to the five UTAUT categories and were explored within each participant group: Conclusion: The DITE™ app holds the potential to tackle communication barriers between Deaf individuals and HCPs. However, ongoing research, improvements in functionality and strategic deployment are vital to maximize its effectiveness in enhancing healthcare accessibility and outcomes for the Deaf community in Malaysia.
