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

Objective: To systematically evaluate the impact of mobile health (mHealth) interventions on patients with schizophrenia. Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) concerning the effects of mHealth interventions on patients with schizophrenia were retrieved from databases including CNKI, WanFang, VIP, CBM, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science from their inception until September 2025. Data analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. Results: A total of 10 RCTs involving 1135 patients with schizophrenia were included. The analysis results showed that the intervention group was significantly better than the control group in improving positive symptoms of schizophrenia ( Conclusion: mHealth interventions demonstrate a slight but definite positive effect on improving positive symptoms in schizophrenia. However, they show no significant effect on improving depressive symptoms. While a higher incidence of adverse events was reported in the intervention group, this finding should be interpreted with caution as it may be influenced by enhanced detection through digital monitoring (surveillance bias).
