Leveraging voice memos recorded via smartphones for qualitative data collection.
Article in Journal of public health research, 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
The purpose of this paper is to discuss voice memos - where participants privately record their spoken responses to qualitative prompts on their smartphones - as a low-burden strategy for qualitative data collection. Collecting primary data has become increasingly challenging for social and behavioral scientists, both in recruiting research participants and securing quality and complete data. Qualitative data collection can pose even greater challenges due to it being time-consuming, cognitively taxing, and potentially socially undesirable for participants. We contend voice memos may be an opportune way of overcoming some of these challenges and describe our experience successfully collecting voice memo data as part of a community-based research study. We share insights on our procedures to collect voice memo data, including the survey tool and logic that could be repurposed for future studies, feasibility of collecting these data, quality of data collected via voice memos, and lessons learned from the process.
