A factorial randomised controlled trial to identify efficacious self-regulation techniques in an e- and m-health intervention to target an active lifestyle: study protocol.
Article in Trials, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03274271 (A Parallel-group Randomized Trial to Compare the Efficacy of Different Behaviour Change Techniques in the e- and M-health Intervention 'MyPlan 2.0'), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.

Abstract
backgroundSufficient physical activity and a limited amount of sedentary behaviour can prevent a range of chronic diseases. However, most adults do not meet the recommendations for physical activity and sedentary behaviour. Effective and engaging interventions are needed to change people's behaviour. E- and m-health interventions are promising, but unfortunately they result in small effects and suffer from high attrition rates. Improvements to intervention content and design are required. Qualitative research has revealed the need for clear and concise interventions. Furthermore, many interventions use a range of behaviour-change techniques, and it is yet unknown whether these techniques are equally important to obtain behaviour change. It may well be that a limited set of these techniques is sufficient. In this study, the aim is to experimentally investigate the efficacy of three behaviour-change techniques (i.e. action planning, coping planning and self-monitoring) on physical activity, sedentary behaviour and related determinants among adults.
methodsIn a 2 x 2 x 2 factorial trial participants will be randomly allocated to eight groups (including one control group). Each group will receive a different version of the self-regulation-based e- and m-health intervention 'MyPlan 2.0', in which three behaviour-change techniques (i.e. action planning, coping planning, self-monitoring) will be combined in order to achieve self-formulated goals about physical activity or sedentary behaviour. Goal attainment, and levels of physical activity and sedentary behaviour will be measured via self-report questionnaires. DISCUSSION: This study should provide insight into the role of various behaviour-change techniques in changing health behaviour and its determinants. Its experimental and longitudinal design, with repeated measures of several determinants of behaviour change, allows an in-depth analysis of the processes underlying behaviour change, enabling the authors to provide guidance for the development of future e- and m-health interventions.
