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
objectivesIn the post-epidemic era, the prevalence of obesity among urban residents in China has risen sharply, with 34.8% of the population being overweight and 14.1% classified as obese. Obesity has become a critical public health challenge. Given the potential of weight management application (APP) in facilitating health management and weight control, this study aims to explore the factors influencing the adoption of weight management APP by obese patients, providing a scientific basis for the effective health management strategies.
methodsFrom March to October 2023, a randomized sampling method was used to conduct an online survey among 1 728 residents aged 18-65 from six major Chinese cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Changsha, and Chengdu. A theoretical model extending the technology acceptance model (TAM) was proposed, incorporating psychological variables such as perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, social influence, perceived risk, health knowledge, and attitude, alongside demographic variables such as gender, age, education level, and residence. Hypothesis testing was conducted using structural equation modeling to analyze the factors influencing the adoption of weight management APP by obese patients.
resultsFor obese patients, perceived ease of use significantly predicted perceived usefulness (
conclusionsPromoting the use of weight management APP in the post-pandemic era is a critical measure to enhance self-management capabilities among obese patients. Understanding the factors influencing users adoption can help popularize healthy lifestyles, improve chronic disease prevention and control, and elevate overall quality of life and health levels.
