Digitally characterizing the dynamics of multiple health behavior change.
Article in Health psychology : official journal of the Division of Health Psychology, American Psychological Association, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveWe applied the ORBIT model to digitally define dynamic treatment pathways whereby intervention improves multiple risk behaviors. We hypothesized that effective intervention improves the frequency and consistency of targeted health behaviors and that both correlate with automaticity (habit) and self-efficacy (self-regulation).
methodStudy 1: Via location scale mixed modeling we compared effects when hybrid mobile intervention did versus did not target each behavior in the Make Better Choices 1 (MBC1) trial (
resultsTreatment by time interactions showed that location increased for MVPA and FV (
methodStudy 2: In the MBC2 trial (
resultsFor SED, higher scale (less consistency) but not location correlated with lower self-efficacy (
conclusionsLocation scale mixed modeling suggests that both habit and self-regulation changes probably accompany acquisition of complex diet and activity behaviors. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
