Moderators of a mHealth Intervention for Adolescent Physical Activity: Intervention Refinement Study.
Article in JMIR pediatrics and parenting, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: An adaptive text messaging intervention to promote adolescent physical activity has demonstrated feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy in a recent proof-of-concept study. To inform future intervention development, a secondary analysis of the data examined how physical activity is influenced by mood, environment, and physical feelings of energy and fatigue. Objective: This study aims to understand how both macro- and microtemporal variables (eg, psychological and environmental variables at both levels) influence the efficacy of a brief mobile health intervention (ie, NUDGE) for physical activity. Methods: Using a matched control design, we evaluated the effect of daily positive and negative affect, perceptions of the weather, energy, and fatigue as moderators of the effect of the intervention on 21 intervention participants and 21 matched controls. Results: Consistent with study hypotheses, macrotemporal (levels of the variable on a 3-week timescale) moderators of intervention effectiveness were observed for positive affect (P<.001), negative affect (P=.03), energy (P<.001), fatigue (P<.001), and perceived weather barriers (P<.001) for moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. These effects were observed more consistently for moderate-to-vigorous physical activity than for sedentary behavior, which was only significant for energy (P<.001). No effects for microtemporal variables (at the day level) were observed. Conclusions: There appears to be an optimization opportunity for mobile health physical activity interventions that can be achieved by personalizing intervention features and content based on approximately monthly assessments of affect, physical feeling states, and perceived weather barriers.
