Feasibility and Acceptability of a Web-Based Dietary Intervention with Text Messages for Colorectal Cancer: A Randomized Pilot Trial.
Trial report in Cancer epidemiology, biomarkers & prevention : a publication of the American Association for Cancer Research, cosponsored by the American Society of Preventive Oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02965521 (Survivor Choices for Eating and Drinking - Colorectal Cancer), which is not on this map. Cited by 24 papers, 5 of them syntheses 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
backgroundDiet is associated with colorectal cancer survival. Yet, adherence to nutrition guidelines is low among colorectal cancer survivors.
methodsWe conducted a pilot trial among colorectal cancer survivors to evaluate a 12-week remote dietary intervention. Participants received print materials and were randomized (1:1) to intervention (website, text messages) or wait-list control. Primary outcomes included feasibility and acceptability. We also explored change in diet from 0 to 12 and 24 weeks and change from 0 to 12 weeks in anthropometry and circulating biomarkers (Trial Registration: NCT02965521).
resultsWe randomized 50 colorectal cancer survivors (25 intervention, 25 control). Retention was 90% at 12 weeks and 84% at 24 weeks. Participants had a median age of 55 years and were 66% female, 70% non-Hispanic white, and 96% had a college degree. The intervention arm responded to a median 15 (71%) of 21 text messages that asked for a reply [interquartile range (IQR) = 8, 19] and visited the website a median of 13 (15%) days (IQR = 1, 33) of the 84 study days.
conclusionsWe developed a Web-based dietary intervention for colorectal cancer survivors. Our pilot results suggest that colorectal cancer survivors may engage more with text messages than a study website. Research to improve tailoring of text messages, while maintaining scalability, is needed. IMPACT: Remote dietary interventions using text messages may be feasible for colorectal cancer survivors.
