We searched Medline, Cochrane CENTRAL, Embase, IEEE Xplore, and Clinical Trial Registries on March 30, 2022 (updated on July 8, 2022). Two reviewers extracted outcome data and assessed the risk of bias using ROB 2, ROBINS-I, and confidence in the evidence using GRADE. We calculated risk ratios (RRs) for the relationship between the intervention and no-show rates (primary outcome), compared with usual appointment scheduling. Meta-analysis was not possible due to heterogeneity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We included 7 RCTs and 1 non-RCT, in dermatology (n\u2009=\u20092), outpatient primary care (n\u2009=\u20092), endoscopy, oncology, mental health, pneumology, and an magnetic resonance imaging clinic. There was high certainty evidence that predictive model-based text message reminders reduced no-shows (1 RCT, median RR 0.91, interquartile range [IQR] 0.90, 0.92). There was moderate certainty evidence that predictive model-based phone call reminders (3 RCTs, median RR 0.61, IQR 0.49, 0.68) and patient navigators reduced no-shows (1 RCT, RR 0.55, 95% confidence interval 0.46, 0.67).
