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
Introduction: the use of mobile applications can facilitate self-management in health and provide opportunities for the autonomy of the elderly in their self-care. Objective: to map the scientific production on mobile applications for self-management of care aimed at the elderly. Materials and Methods: scope review carried out from September 2020 to January 2021, based on the databases: MEDLINE, SciELO, Scopus, Web of Science and Science Direct , using the search strategy: ("Self-management " OR "Self- care ") AND ( Elderly OR " Old man ") AND ("Mobile Applications " OR Smartphone OR " Cell phone "), with the inclusion of articles that dealt with the use of mobile applications by the elderly for self-management of care, without limitation of time and language. Results: the final sample consisted of 14 articles, categorized into three aspects of management, namely: medications, comorbidities, and healthy practices. In most studies, the applications were directed to self-management of medications, followed by care for chronic conditions and finally self-assessment of the risk of falls and non-pharmacological pain treatments. Discussion: this review contributes to clinical practice and research in nursing, since its results point to what has been published about the development and use of mobile applications by the elderly for self-management of care. Conclusions: the use of mobile applications facilitates self care in the elderly population, especially in the management of medications for chronic conditions.
