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

Lifestyle medicine (LM) is a growing field focused on maintenance of health and reversal of chronic diseases; however, it is still unfamiliar to many as it lacks a mechanism to set itself apart from other medical specialties, which focus primarily on management of established diseases and their symptoms. Given that employers have many incentives to maintain and improve the health of their employees, the corporate wellness space (corporate wellness) represents a considerable opportunity for LM. Proactive Living, a company at the confluence of LM and corporate wellness, promotes and connects LM practitioners with employers and employees through a mobile app (PAL App). The app is designed to improve health literacy, encourage healthy lifestyle behaviors, and engage individuals in their own health, while simultaneously helping LM practitioners market LM and grow their practice.
