Systematic review of dynamically tailored eHealth interventions targeting physical activity and healthy diet in chronic disease.
Article in NPJ digital medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
This systematic review synthesized 61 dynamically tailored eHealth interventions for chronic disease management from 117 papers. Tailoring strategies varied in scope and complexity, with most targeting physical activity (87%) and nutrition (43%), while nearly three-quarters also integrated contextual, emotional, or physiological variables. Physical activity was often objectively measured (60%), but dietary intake remained self-reported (100%). Disease-specific biofeedback, such as glucose or blood pressure monitoring, was rare. Tailoring was predominantly rule-based (74%), though data-driven methods like machine learning (13%) are emerging. Most interventions used text-based delivery and drew on behavior change theory, particularly goal setting, self-monitoring, and feedback. While many showed positive within-group outcomes, benefits over controls were inconclusive. Progress within the field requires: (1) multidisciplinary development with rationale, (2) transparent reporting using structured frameworks, and (3) innovative evaluation designs to disentangle multi-component interventions. Strengthening methodological foundations is essential to unlock potential for delivering tailored lifestyle support in chronic disease care.
