Development of S-IMCICA_V.2: A User-Centered Educational and Decision-Support mHealth App for Early Detection of Childhood Cancer.
Article in Journal of cancer education : the official journal of the American Association for Cancer Education, 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
Early detection of childhood cancer is a key determinant of survival, as diagnostic delays result in advanced disease, higher treatment toxicity, and increased mortality. In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), limited cancer education and awareness among primary care providers (PCPs) contribute to diagnosis delays, highlighting the need for educational interventions that support clinical decision-making. Mobile health (mHealth) tools offer a promising cancer education strategy; however, few are designed to address learning needs in local contexts. With support from the My Child Matters program and based on the Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO) Integrated Management of Childhood Illness-Cancer (IMCI-Cancer) "traffic-light" risk-stratification framework, we co-developed with PCPs S-IMCICA_V.2 (Sistema de Información para el Manejo Integral del Cáncer Infantil_Versión.2; Information System for Comprehensive Management of Childhood Cancer_Version.2), an mHealth educational and clinical decision support tool aimed at improving detection and referral of childhood cancer in Colombia. Applying user-centered design, we completed three phases: (1) app design and content development based on local educational needs, (2) participatory co-design sessions, and (3) iterative usability testing and prototype production. Seventy-nine stakeholders (37 PCPs, 8 nurses, 14 pediatric oncologists, 20 allied staff) participated. Rapid thematic analysis informed refinements in app content, usability, and functionality. The final high-fidelity prototype was perceived as intuitive and valuable for supporting cancer education and clinical reasoning, reinforcing knowledge and emphasizing timely referrals. Stakeholder input led to improvements in app personalization, navigation, clinical logic checks, educational content and referral guidance. Embedding educational content within mHealth clinical tools may enhance cancer knowledge retention and behavior change in clinical practice. Integrating S-IMCICA_V.2 into an e-learning curriculum and evaluating regional impact are underway.
