1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Depression is often described as likely associated with engagement and risk of disengagement (i.e. non-usage attrition) in digital behavior change interventions, but is rarely studied in-depth outside of mental health-specific programs; thus, we sought to quantify its influence on disengagement risk. Data come from 363 adults (mean age = 51.86, SD = 10.86; 70.3% female) randomized to the intervention groups of the LoseNowPA eHealth weight management intervention. Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional-hazards modeling were applied on the outcome of cessation of logins before program end at 12 months. Overall, mild to moderate depression symptoms were associated with an increased risk of early disengagement from this eHealth intervention, controlling for sociodemographic covariates (
