The Impact of Digital Technology-Based Exercise Combined With Dietary Intervention on Body Composition in College Students With Obesity: Prospective Study.
Article in Journal of medical Internet research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundLifestyle interventions are a critical component of weight loss programs, yet digital, personalized, and theory- and evidence-based lifestyle interventions remain limited.
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the effects of a combination of various dietary approaches and digital technology-based exercise on the body composition of college students with obesity.
methodsA total of 129 college students with obesity (mean age 18.3, SD 0.7 years; mean weight 89.9, SD 13.6 kg; mean BMI 30.6, SD 3.3 kg/m
resultsAll groups showed significant decreases in weight and BMI, and the TRF group also showed a significant decrease in BMI (P=.002), but there were significant sex differences. The male TWF group showed the largest decrease in weight (mean difference [MD] -4.86 kg; P<.001), BMI (MD -1.1 kg/m
conclusionsThis study demonstrated that 3 diet-combined exercise regimens produced sex-specific improvements in body composition in college students with obesity. Male participants achieved maximum visceral fat mass loss after 8 weeks with TWF combined with exercise, whereas female participants achieved greater total body fat loss with LCD combined with exercise. The effectiveness of the closed-loop monitoring-feedback behavior modification was verified by digital technology through intelligent monitoring to improve dietary compliance and a real-time feedback mechanism to enhance the effect of the intervention. The sex and diet interaction significantly affected subcutaneous fat mass; women who used LCD and TRF needed additional protein supplementation. Digital technology shows great potential in obesity management and is worth promoting.
