Trial report in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
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
introductionLeukemia is considered one of the most common childhood cancers, requiring long-term treatment that often affects adherence to the treatment. Treatment adherence is one of the most important health issues. Adolescents demonstrate the highest scores of non-adherences to treatment. Treatment adherence refers to the extent to which a patient follows medication protocols, dietary guidelines, and lifestyle adjustments as per healthcare provider recommendations. Mobile health programs utilize mobile technology to provide health services. Given the potential influence of mobile technology interventions on treatment outcomes, a study was conducted to assess the impact of mobile health on medication adherence in adolescents with leukemia.
methodsThis study, a clinical trial conducted in 2023, involved the selection of sixty adolescents meeting entry criteria, who were then randomly allocated to intervention (30 participants) and control groups (30 participants). The intervention group utilized a treatment adherence application for eight weeks. Data collection utilized the Morisky Medication Adherence Questionnaire and the Mobile Application Rating Scale (MARS).
resultsThere were no significant demographic differences between the intervention and control groups. Pre-test results showed a mean adherence score of 6.000 with a standard deviation of 1.11 in the intervention group and 4.25 with a standard deviation of 1.45 in the control group, with no statistically significant variance. Post-test results indicated increased treatment adherence in the intervention group, while no change was observed in the control group.
conclusionThe use of a mobile health application enhances treatment adherence among adolescents with leukemia.
