Mobile Phone-Mediated Interventions to Improve Adherence to Prescribed Treatment in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Systematic Review.

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
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive respiratory disorder that poses significant challenges in treatment adherence. This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness of mobile health (mHealth) interventions compared to conventional therapy in improving treatment adherence among COPD patients. A total of 13 randomized controlled trials and comparative cohort studies published up to July 2023 were included, analyzing interventions such as medication reminders and remote monitoring in adult COPD patients. Studies involving participants under 18 years of age or with severe comorbidities were excluded. This review identified 4688 records from MEDLINE, WEB OF SCIENCE, and SCOPUS. Of these, 13 studies met the inclusion criteria. The selection process was conducted by two independent reviewers, with discrepancies resolved by consensus with a third reviewer. The results showed that mHealth interventions improved treatment adherence in some studies, particularly in exercise and symptom monitoring; however, the evidence was inconsistent, and results varied across studies. This review concludes that mHealth interventions have the potential to improve adherence but higher-quality studies and more robust designs are needed to confirm these findings and support their clinical implementation.
