Mobile health and postoperative self-care following glaucoma, cataract, or corneal transplant surgeries.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPostoperative self-care is a critical determinant of treatment outcomes in ophthalmic patients. Recent advances in mobile health (mHealth) and the widespread adoption of smartphones have created new opportunities to enhance disease management and promote self-care.
objectiveThis study aimed to design and evaluate a mobile health application to support self-care among patients following glaucoma surgery, cataract extraction, and corneal transplantation.
methodsTo determine the functional requirements of the mobile health application, a comprehensive literature review was conducted alongside a needs assessment involving patients who had undergone glaucoma surgery, cataract extraction, or corneal transplantation. Based on object-oriented analysis and design, a system blueprint was developed, and the application was implemented using the Java programming language. The usability and user satisfaction of the application were evaluated through a researcher-developed checklist, administered to both ophthalmic patients and ophthalmologists.
resultsThe evaluation results indicated a high level of user satisfaction regarding the user interface, services, overall functionality, and usability of the application. Based on the predefined scoring scale, the application received an overall score of 24.82, placing it within the "acceptable" category.
conclusionsThe findings suggest that this mobile health application can effectively support education and enhance postoperative self-care among patients undergoing glaucoma, cataract, and corneal transplant surgeries. Overall, the "INOOR" application, with its integrated features, demonstrates considerable potential to improve self-care practices and reduce the workload of healthcare providers.
