Efficacy of Health Coaching and an Electronic Health Management Program: Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Journal of general internal medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03294057 (The Effectiveness of Collaborative Care With Smart Health Management Program for Patients With Chronic Illness), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 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.

Abstract
backgroundFor chronic disease management, self-management strategies are essential to achieve sustained improvement.
objectiveOur study evaluated the efficacy of health coaching and a self-management strategy-based electronic program on self-management strategies for patients with osteoporosis, chronic respiratory disease, or arthritis.
designThree-arm randomized controlled trial, pilot study
participantsFifty-four participants
interventionsThe first intervention group (n = 53) received a self-management strategy-based electronic program and 12 weeks of health coaching (20 sessions). The second intervention group received the information and communications technology (ICT) program; the control group received usual care and an educational booklet about self-management of chronic diseases. MAIN MEASURES: The primary outcome was the difference in the change of the mean of self-management strategy scores. Secondary outcomes included depression (PHQ-9), physical activity (Godin Leisure Exercise Questionnaire), and health habit maintenance (transtheoretical model) after 12 weeks in the program. KEY
resultsThe combination of health coaching and ICT was superior to control group (change 18.5 vs. - 2.6, adjusted difference = 24.5, p < 0.001); however, the ICT alone group was not superior to the control group (change 8.0 vs. - 2.6, adjusted difference = 8.0, p = 0.156). As a result of evaluating the change in the percentage of people with positive stage changes in the transtheoretical model of health habits, regular exercise (p = 0.008), a balanced diet (p = 0.005), helping others (p = 0.001), and living with loved ones (p = 0.038) showed significant differences. There was no significant difference in the changes in percentage of patients with depressive symptoms in comparison with control group; however, there was in comparison with control group among groups (p = 0.033). Compared to the control group, the proportion of patients who achieved an exercise amount of 12.5 MET or higher was significantly higher (p = 0.028) in the health coaching and ICT group.
conclusionsThe combination of ICT + health coaching led to improvement in self-management as well as in increasing exercise, and several healthy behaviors.
