Digital components and interaction types in counseling interventions for childhood and adolescent obesity: A systematic review.
Review in International journal of nursing sciences, 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
Objectives: Childhood and adolescent obesity are an increasing global health concern. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of digital components and interaction types in counseling interventions for prevention and treatment. Methods: All studies were searched in online databases and grey literature, including PubMed (Medline), Web of Science, CINAHL, Scopus, IEEE Xplore Digital Library, Journal of Medical Internet Research (JMIR), MedNar, EBSCO Open Dissertations. The search period is from inception to June 2023, and the languages are Finnish, English and Swedish. The research quality was evaluated using the web-based data management system Covidence for prevalence studies. The study protocol was registered with PROSPERO (registration number: CRD42021247595). Results: In this review, 4,407 studies were screened, and 22 were included. These involved 3,433 participants and 264 child-parent pairs. The digital approaches included multicomponent elements like internet platforms, text messaging, video conferencing, online communities, wearable technology, and mobile apps, allowing one-way, two-way, and face-to-face interactions. Two studies showed statistically significant effects of treatment on BMI and waist-to-hip ratio. Most interventions reported positive outcomes, with no significant differences between groups, and none showed null effects during follow-up. Conclusions: Digital multicomponents like mobile apps and wearables can help obese children and adolescents adopt healthier lifestyles. While these interventions show promise for obesity management, further research is needed to assess their effectiveness, particularly regarding nurses' perspectives.
