Synthesizing comprehensive models for health behavior studies: connecting dots and revealing links on health enhancement through a meta-analysis approach.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Objective: To systematically synthesize the impact of autonomy and key theoretical models, including Self-Determination Theory (SDT), Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Value Adoption Model (VAM), Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), and Health Action Process Approach (HAPA), on health behavior and behavior change determinants, focusing on self-determination and intrinsic motivation as central drivers of independent health decisions. Methods: A meta-analysis was conducted on 135 studies published between 2005 and 2023, with a total sample size of 53,242 participants. We searched the Web of Science and PubMed databases for relevant literature. The theoretical frameworks explored include SDT, TAM, VAM, TPB, and HAPA. Data analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.4.1 software, with effect size calculated as the standardized mean difference with 95% confidence intervals. Heterogeneity was evaluated using I Results: (1) SDT significantly impacted motivation, while TAM and VAM influenced perceived value [SMD = 0.96 > 0.8, 95% CI (0.68, 1.24), Conclusion: Autonomy, self-determination, and intrinsic motivation play a crucial role in health behavior change. Integrating theoretical models such as SDT, TAM, VAM, and HAPA facilitates structured approaches to health interventions, emphasizing implementation intentions, action planning, and coping strategies.
