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

Consumer health informatics applications that address clinical conditions with disparate outcomes may benefit from an inclusive design approach (ensuring interfaces are usable by various groups) or targeted tailoring specifically for the group(s) experiencing disparities. We present the results of a usability assessment where we conducted cultural tailoring of a mobile health application for postpartum symptom monitoring focused on Black/African American patients. In our assessment with 10 health professionals and 16 patients, we highlight the importance of involving representative patients and clinical experts; promoting encouragement and sustained use; providing marginalized communities with communication support for improved trust and confidence; and considering different approaches to ensure patients feel represented in the imagery contained within applications. These findings may support future approaches to inclusive design and cultural tailoring of consumer health applications.
