Design of ChooseWell 365: Randomized controlled trial of an automated, personalized worksite intervention to promote healthy food choices and prevent weight gain.
Article in Contemporary clinical trials, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimsBehavioral nudges in the food environment increase healthy choices, but it is unknown if they improve diet and health. The ChooseWell 365 study will determine if an automated, personalized worksite intervention to nudge healthier choices improves overall diet and cardiometabolic health.
designRandomized controlled trial of 602 hospital employees who regularly use on-site cafeterias and pay with an employee ID.
interventionThe intervention combines an environmental strategy (traffic-light labeling) with objective feedback and personalized nudges (health/lifestyle tips, social norms, incentives) to promote healthy food choices. The ChooseWell 365 software platform automatically generates personalized emails and letters that integrate employees' weight goals with health, lifestyle, and cafeteria purchasing data. Over one year, the intervention group receives two weekly emails. One provides a log of daily purchases; the second provides personalized health/lifestyle tips. The intervention group receives monthly mailed letters with social norm comparisons and financial incentives for healthier purchases. The one-year intervention will be completed in February 2019; all follow-up will be completed March 2020. OUTCOMES: Weight, cardiometabolic risk factors, and dietary intake at one and two-year follow-up. Other outcomes include worksite food purchases by study participants and other non-participant employees who are socially connected (inferred from purchasing data) to participants.
conclusionsChooseWell 365 tests a novel strategy to deliver a scalable worksite prevention program that is integrated into the workday. The intervention is personalized but automated and therefore does not require costlier individual counseling. In the future, this program could be applied broadly in other worksite settings.
