A protection motivation theory-guided telehealth coaching program for middle-aged adults with cardiometabolic risk: A feasibility trial.
Trial report in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05444140 (A Theory-guided Health Coaching Programme for Middle-aged Adults With Cardiometabolic Risk to Improve Health Promoting Behaviours), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
backgroundHealth coaching to address the escalated cardiometabolic risk in middle-aged adults in primary health care is underexplored. This study aimed to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a protection motivation theory-guided telehealth coaching program among middle-aged adults with cardiometabolic risks.
methodsThis was a pretest-posttest study. The three-month intervention included four nurse-facilitated telehealth sessions tailored to individual cardiometabolic risks.
resultsThirty participants were recruited through social media and a community center. The eligibility and enrollment rates were 16.1% and 78.9%, respectively. Attrition at six months after enrollment was 33.3%, and intervention attendance was 82.5%. Most of the participants (76.7%) were satisfied with the program. Significant improvements were noted in the INTERHEART score for cardiometabolic risks, self-efficacy, anxiety, stress, and central obesity but not in health-promoting behaviors, depression, sleep quality, physical activity level, and physiological outcomes at six-month post-enrolment.
conclusionA theory-based telehealth coaching was feasible and well-accepted among middle-aged adults, with potential in reducing cardiometabolic risks among middle-aged adults in primary care. This study revealed significant improvement in cardiometabolic risk, self-efficacy, anxiety, stress, and central obesity but changes for health-promoting behaviors, depression, sleep quality, physical activity level, and physiological outcomes were not noted. Progression to a definitive trial was supported with implication for future trials, including lowering the threshold of cardiometabolic risk to improve subject recruitment, change of assessment sessions to promote adherence to fasting instruction, and use of digital recording to facilitate health coaching process.
