Mobile application for self-care in people with heart failure: a quasi-experimental study.
Article in Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da U S P, 2026. 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
objectiveTo compare the self-care scores of people with heart failure before and after using the "Tum-Tum" mobile application.
methodA single-group, quasi-experimental, before-and-after study involving a sample of 57 individuals treated at the cardiology outpatient clinic of a public university hospital in the city of João Pessoa, Paraíba, conducted between January and May 2024. To measure self-care, the Self-Care of Heart Failure Index was used before (T0) and 60 days after (T1) using the mobile application. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
results54.4% of participants were male. The median age was 60 years, and the median number of years of education was six years. A statistically significant difference was observed between the pre-intervention (T0) and post-intervention (T1) time points regarding the heart failure self-care maintenance and self-care confidence subscales.
conclusionThe use of the "Tum-Tum" mobile app had a positive influence on increasing scores. The app has the potential to support educational strategies promoted by healthcare professionals-particularly nurses-regarding self-care for people with heart failure. The study was registered with ReBEC - registry RBR-5zx8rvc.
