A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Mobile Health Intervention to Promote Self-Management After Lung Transplantation.
Trial report in American journal of transplantation : official journal of the American Society of Transplantation and the American Society of Transplant Surgeons, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 63 papers, 16 of them syntheses that pooled 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.

Abstract
Lung transplant recipients are encouraged to perform self-management behaviors, including (i) monitoring health indicators, (ii) adhering to their regimen, and (iii) reporting abnormal health indicators to the transplant coordinator, yet performance is suboptimal. When hospital discharge was imminent, this two-group trial randomized 201 recipients to use either the mobile health (mHealth) intervention (n = 99) or usual care (n = 102), to compare efficacy for promoting self-management behaviors (primary outcomes) and self-care agency, rehospitalization, and mortality (secondary outcomes) at home during the first year after transplantation. The mHealth intervention group performed self-monitoring (odds ratio [OR] 5.11, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.95-8.87, p < 0.001), adhered to medical regimen (OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.01-2.66, p = 0.046), and reported abnormal health indicators (OR 8.9, 95% CI 3.60-21.99, p < 0.001) more frequently than the usual care group. However, the two groups did not differ in rehospitalization (OR 0.78, 95% CI 0.36-1.66, p = 0.51) or mortality (hazard ratio 1.71, 0.68-4.28, p = 0.25). The positive impact of the mHealth intervention on self-management behaviors suggests that the intervention holds promise and warrants further testing.
