Evaluation of Nudge-Based Notification for Follow-Up Examinations in Health Check-Ups Targeting Occupational Health Staff and Undiagnosed Workers: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

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
Purpose Follow-up examinations after health check-ups are important for early detection of noncommunicable diseases among workers. Nudging can serve as an effective intervention for individuals who avoid follow-up examinations due to cognitive biases. This study aims to evaluate the interest in nudge-based notification for follow-up examinations, targeting occupational health staff and undiagnosed workers in a randomized controlled trial. Methods Participants were randomly assigned to either a control group (receiving a text-based notification without nudges) or a nudge group (receiving a notification that modified the control group based on Easy-type nudges). An anonymous web survey was administered. Results Occupational health staff (n = 425) rated all items significantly higher, including "willingness to use the notification" which scored 2.22 for the control group vs. 3.62 for the nudge group on a 1- to 5-point scale (P < 0.001). Among undiagnosed workers (n = 871), there was no significant difference in "willingness to apply for the follow-up examinations" (3.01 vs. 3.09; P = 0.272), but all other items were rated significantly higher in the nudge group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Based on these findings, we suggest that occupational health staff should use nudge-based notifications. However, increasing the willingness of undiagnosed workers to undergo follow-up examinations remains challenging. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to incorporate multiple nudge elements into notifications.
