The impact of an online, lifestyle intervention programme on the lives of patients with a rheumatic and musculoskeletal disease: a pilot study.
Article in Rheumatology (Oxford, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesTo evaluate the short- and long-term effects of an online, interactive, multifactorial lifestyle intervention programme (Leef! Met Reuma) on health risk and all ICHOM-recommended patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in patients with an inflammatory arthritis (IA), osteoarthritis (OA) or fibromyalgia (FM).
methodsPatients with an IA, OA or FM could register for the lifestyle intervention programme. The programme consists of a 3-month intensive part followed by a 21-month aftercare period and focuses on four pillars, namely nutrition, exercise, relaxation and sleep. Health risk and PROMs are collected 3-monthly during the first 6 months and 6-monthly during the next 18 months. Health risk includes self-reported weight, waist circumference and BMI. Following PROMs were included: pain, morning stiffness severity, fatigue, Health Assessment Questionnaire, quality of life, perceived stress, sleep disturbance and impact on life. Descriptive statistics were used to assess the change in health risk and PROMs during the intensive part of the programme and aftercare period.
resultsOf the 264 patients studied, 88, 105 and 71 were diagnosed with IA, OA and FM, respectively. Health risk significantly improved in all three diagnosis groups during the intensive part of the programme. The mean BMI reduction was -1.36 (0.26), -1.22 (0.23) and -1.48 (0.33), whereafter it stabilized in the aftercare period. All PROMs showed a similar trend.
conclusionAn online, interactive lifestyle intervention programme has a positive long-term effect, even after 2 years of follow-up, on health risk and all PRO domains in patients with an IA, OA and FM.
