Digital Skin Cancer Risk Reduction Interventions for Young Adults: Findings from a Hybrid Type-II Effectiveness-Implementation 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
backgroundEngagement in sun protection behaviors is low among young adults (ages 18-25 years). Efficacious sun safety interventions for this at-risk population and information on intervention engagement and costs are needed. The purpose was to conduct secondary analyses examining intervention implementation strategies and outcomes (e.g., engagement), intervention moderators, and costs of three digital interventions to increase sun protection behaviors previously evaluated for effectiveness in a randomized controlled trial.
methodsThe randomized controlled trial compared three conditions: a basic efficacious intervention, an enhanced version of the intervention, and an educational e-pamphlet. Sun protection measures, intervention engagement and implementation, putative moderators, and intervention costs were assessed through 1 year.
resultsEngagement (4.6 of 12 modules completed) was similar for basic and enhanced interventions. Engagement was significantly associated with sun protection. Men and individuals with lower tanning ability completed more modules than women and those with higher tanning ability. Enhanced was more effective than basic for men (but not women) through 1 year. After initial development, both active interventions were similar in cost per person at larger sample sizes.
conclusionsDespite attempts at enhancement, engagement in basic and enhanced was similar. Although all interventions were costly to create, they were less costly to maintain and could be scaled up for dissemination. Based on both engagement and effects on sun protection, the enhanced intervention would be recommended for men, women, or both. IMPACT: This digital intervention offers the potential to reduce skin cancer risk in a large population of US young adults.
