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

objectivesComparing the effects of a mobile health (mHealth) application based on the micro-learning method with face-to-face training on treatment adherence and perception among patients undergoing haemodialysis.

designA single-blind randomised clinical trial.

settingA haemodialysis centre in Isfahan, Iran.

participantsSeventy patients.

interventionPatients were trained individually for 1 month via the mHealth application or face-to-face training. OUTCOME MEASURES: Treatment adherence and perception in patients were measured and compared.

resultsThe scores of treatment adherence in the mHealth and the face-to-face training groups were not significantly different at the pre-intervention stage (720.43±209.61 vs 702.861±181.47, p=0.693) and immediately after the intervention (1007.14±134.84 vs 947.86±124.46, p=0.060), while 8 weeks later, treatment adherence in the mHealth group was significantly higher than the face-to-face training group (1018.57±129.66 vs 914.29±126.06, p=0.001). The scores of both groups before the intervention did not differ in various dimensions of treatment adherence and perception (p>0.05). Scores of these variables also elevated significantly after the intervention (p<0.05).

conclusionsThe mHealth based on micro-learning and face-to-face training as interventions augmented treatment adherence and perception among the haemodialysis patients, but such improvements were detected much more in the patients trained with mHealth based on the micro-learning method than face-to-face training.
