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

Background: Acceptability and sustained engagement of mobile health (mHealth) applications in resource-limited settings for chronic disease management are suboptimal. Research on mHealth applications overlooks contextual factors affecting the translation of their acceptance to long-term usage. Methods: This study examined contextual factors using questionnaire developed by Technological Acceptance Models (TAM) and Expectation Confirmation Theory (ECT), to study the influence of technology acceptance (TA) on Sustained App-based Engagement and Use (ABEU) among Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients. Data were collected through purposive sampling from 397 T2DM patients across public and private hospitals in four provinces of Pakistan. Exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modelling validated hypothesised relationships. Results: Model depicted a strong, positive effect of TA on ABEU ( Conclusion: TA significantly impacted ABEU through contextual, cultural and infrastructural factors in mHealth adoption, underscoring the need for actionable insights to improve mHealth adoption and retention.
