Mobile health application reduces dialysis catheter service time for patients with newly created arteriovenous fistulas.

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
Background and hypothesis: This study aimed to explore the effect of a mobile health application in the management of patients with newly created arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs). Methods: Hemodialysis patients who started dialysis with a dialysis catheter and received AVF creation at our hospital between August 2023 and April 2024, with follow-up via a mobile health application, were selected as the study group, while patients who received follow-up through traditional phone calls from January 2023 to July 2023 were selected as the control group. A 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was conducted. The time from AVF creation to dialysis catheter removal [central venous catheter (CVC) days], the time to first AVF cannulation, and complications within 6 months postoperatively were compared between the two groups. Results: In the PSM cohort, the CVC days were 61.5 (53.5, 68.8) in the mobile health application group and 93.0 (75.5, 100.0) in the control group ( Conclusion: Mobile health applications can help reduce the number of CVC days and promote earlier cannulation of newly created AVFs without increasing the risk of complications.
