Development and Preliminary Evaluation of iCanPlan: A Mobile Health Application for Intimate Partner Violence Prevention in Thailand.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant global public health issue that requires accessible, scalable, and contextually appropriate interventions. Mobile health (mHealth) technologies provide a promising platform to deliver support, information, and safety planning tools for individuals at risk of IPV. This study aimed to develop and pilot-test iCanPlan, a mobile application designed to support IPV prevention in Thailand. The application evaluates IPV risk, identifies indicators of danger, and provides a countrywide list of assistance sources. iCanPlan consists of four main components: (1) an IPV risk assessment tool, (2) a list of support resources, (3) educational materials presented in the form of infographics, and (4) encouraging quotes from well-known public figures. The app features a clean, user-friendly interface with intuitive navigation and color-coded components to enhance usability. In addition, a preliminary study was conducted with 30 experts from multidisciplinary fields, including gender-based violence research, social work, psychology, public health, and non-governmental organizations. Participants used the application for one month and subsequently evaluated it using a structured questionnaire based on heuristic evaluation principles. The questionnaire assessed usability, safety features, content quality, cultural appropriateness, language clarity, ethical considerations, and overall evaluation using a five-point Likert scale. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) in SPSS. The findings demonstrated excellent performance across all domains, with high mean scores for usability (M = 4.93), safety features (M = 4.73), and content quality (M = 4.82), while cultural appropriateness, language clarity, ethical considerations, and overall evaluation achieved perfect scores (M = 5.00). These results indicate strong agreement among experts regarding the application's usability, safety, and relevance. The study highlights the potential of iCanPlan as a culturally appropriate and user-friendly digital intervention for IPV prevention. Further research involving the target population is needed to evaluate its effectiveness and long-term impact on help-seeking behavior and IPV-related outcomes.
