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

Introduction: This study investigates specific behavioural and social factors influencing the adoption of mobile health (mHealth) technologies by Community Health Workers (CHWs) in rural Indonesia. Using the SMARThealth cardiovascular risk management programme in Malang as a case study, the study examines how constructs from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and related frameworks explain CHWs' intention to use and actual use of mHealth tools. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 573 CHWs participating in the SMARThealth programme. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling to test ten hypotheses derived from TAM and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology. Results: Five of the ten hypotheses were supported. Behavioural intention significantly predicted actual use of the SMARThealth app (β = 0.277, Conclusion: Perceived usefulness, ease of use, social relationships and non-financial incentives significantly influence CHWs' intention to adopt mHealth tools in Malang, Indonesia. These findings highlight the need for user-friendly design and peer-based, non-monetary support strategies. However, due to contextual differences in CHW roles, infrastructure and community dynamics, these results may not be generalisable. Further research is needed to assess their relevance across other low- and middle-income countries settings.
