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.

Abstract

Background: Dietary and physical activity behaviors can influence the development of breast cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a web-app-based intervention in improving diet and physical activity among women aged 25-45 years residing in northern Spain. Methods: A randomized experimental study was conducted with two groups: an intervention group (IG) and a control group (CG). The Motiva.Diaf questionnaire was used to evaluate the impact of a web-app-based intervention on dietary and physical activity behaviors (range: 0= lowest adherence, 12= highest adherence to healthy behaviors). Women in the IG participated in a 12-week intervention based on the Behavior Change Wheel Model. The web-app provided information on both behaviors. Results: A total of 289 women completed the study (IG =101; CG =188). Considering the combined behaviors for IG (diet and physical activity), between PRE-intervention [8.12; standard deviation (SD) =2.51] and POST-intervention (8.46; SD =2.53), the score was significantly higher in POST [P=0.001; 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.546 to -0.140]. Similarly, significant improvements were observed in specific behavioral recommendations within the IG, with higher scores in dietary behaviors (P<0.001; 95% CI: -0.419 to -0.141), and in physical activity between IG and CG at POST (P=0.04; 95% CI: -0.531 to -0.014). Previous adherence to recommendations was a predictor of POST-intervention adherence to healthy behaviors (Standardized β =0.645; 95% CI: 0.773-0.886; R Conclusions: The intervention has proven effective in improving adherence to healthy dietary and physical activity behaviors. Policymakers should prioritize the development of these digital interventions as they can play a crucial role in addressing challenges faced by healthcare systems and meeting societal demands. Therefore, healthcare professionals can implement them. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05267171.
