Article in Frontiers in digital health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06667843 (Smart Nutrition, Healthier Communities), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
Objective: Mobile health (mHealth) through digital therapeutics (DTx) offer a promising approach to obesity management. This study evaluated the effectiveness of the Lifeness DTx for obesity care and its effect on anthropometrics, reward-related eating behaviors and quality of life in individuals with overweight and obesity within a community-based healthcare setting. Methods: A 12-week randomized controlled trial was conducted. Adults (BMI ≥ 27 kg/m Results: No significant changes in body weight, or differences between groups were observed at W12. The IG showed reductions in waist circumference (-3.4 cm, Conclusion: The DTx intervention was associated with improvements in central adiposity, reward-related eating behaviors, and psychological well-being beyond weight loss. These findings provide preliminary evidence that digital therapeutics may represent a feasible and scalable approach to support personalized obesity care in primary healthcare settings. Larger, adequately powered trials are needed to confirm these results. Clinical Trial Registration: clinicaltrials.gov, identifier NCT06667843 (Initial Release: 10/15/2024).
