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

backgroundThe use of digital technologies in health has expanded, offering significant support to clinical practices, especially in Primary Health Care. This study aimed to create and validate an innovative digital tool to support primary care professionals in the care of menopausal women. MATERIALS AND

methodsIt is a multimethod study, where the first method used was applied intervention research that proposed the development of an Android mobile application for menopause management within primary care. Subsequently, a cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted to validate this product.

resultThe application was developed using the Flutter Flow platform, a low-code tool. This means it's a program with a graphical interface and component additions. The application includes important tools for therapeutic management, such as: a. Health risk assessment calculators; b. Theoretical content to support care; c. Institutions for reference. Validation was performed with health professionals using the System Usability Scale (SUS) instrument, achieving an average score of 93.6, indicating excellent usability. High satisfaction (89.3) and ease of learning (96.7) rates were also observed.

conclusionDigital tools can be strategic allies in supporting the care of menopausal women within Primary Health Care; however, those aimed at professional clinical practice and support in choosing individualized therapeutic approaches are still incipient. It is recommended that future studies explore different regional realities and evaluate the effects of using the application on care quality and health indicators, as well as the development and adoption of other similar applications that meet population needs and align with local public policies.
