Delivering real-time support for self-injury: A systematic review on ecological momentary interventions.
Review in Internet interventions, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Introduction: Ecological momentary interventions (EMIs) delivered via smartphone apps have gained attention as a potential tool for addressing self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITB), particularly non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). This systematic review aims to assess the efficacy and feasibility of smartphone-based EMIs in reducing SITB and improving mental health outcomes. Methods: A systematic review was conducted, focusing on smartphone-based EMIs targeting SITB, with particular emphasis on those addressing NSSI. The latest search was made in February 2025. Results: Sixteen studies featuring smartphone-based EMIs were included. Overall, these studies showed promising evidence for the reduction of SITB. Specifically, several studies reported reductions in NSSI frequency and improvements in emotional regulation among participants. Feasibility and acceptability data showed good results. Limitations: Key limitations include small sample sizes, study heterogeneity, lack of follow-up, reliance on self-reports, and absence of standardized tools to distinguish NSSI from other self-injurious behaviors. Conclusions: Results are promising, while the efficacy of smartphone-based EMIs SITB requires further validation through large-scale and well-designed studies. The integration of digital interventions into broader mental health care strategies offers a potential avenue for addressing the treatment gap in at-risk populations, particularly those with limited access to traditional care.
