Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions: Where Are We Now and What Is Next?
Review in Annual review of psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
The past decade has seen a surge in developing just-in-time adaptive interventions (JITAIs)-an intervention approach that leverages advancements in digital technologies to address the rapidly changing needs of individuals in daily life. This article provides an overview of the state of science on JITAI development and highlights important directions for future research. We explain what a JITAI is (and what it is not) and review the scientific and practical rationales underlying this approach. We also call attention to three key challenges relating to the development of JITAIs. The first challenge is that individuals may not be able to engage with (i.e., invest energy in) an intervention when they need it most in daily life. The second concerns the generally suboptimal engagement of individuals in interventions that leverage digital technologies as currently implemented. The third concerns the paucity of research on ways to harness the power of social relationships in JITAIs. We conclude that much research effort is needed to build more sophisticated and effective JITAIs.
