Development and Usability Evaluation of a Healthy Lifestyle Coaching Chatbot Using a Habit Formation Model.
Article in Healthcare informatics research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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.
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
objectivesIt is crucial to find ways to fit regular exercise into the daily lives of office workers. Non-exercise activity thermogenesis has been introduced as an effective form of daily exercise. This study aimed to develop a healthy lifestyle coaching program for office workers, to be delivered using a messenger application.
methodsThe interface was developed using KakaoTalk and Plus Friend. Performance feedback was developed using the IBM Watson conversation program. Twenty office workers used the application for three weeks. Afterward, a survey was conducted to assess the usability of and participants' satisfaction with the application.
resultsThe application delivered customized push alarms, provided information related to habit formation, allowed for one-on-one chats, and delivered rewards. The satisfaction measurement results for the application showed that extrinsic reward factors contributed the most to the performance of the activity, followed by reminders and intrinsic rewards. Regarding the usability test, the perceived usefulness of the Healthy Lifestyle Coaching Chatbot was highest, followed by the usage intent and the perceived ease of use.
conclusionsThis study found that coaching programs using chatbots can improve the effectiveness of performing simple, repetitive exercises.
