An Innovative Population Health Tool for Overall Health Status Assessment: Prospective Observational Study.
Observational study in JMIR formative research, 2026. 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: The World Health Organization reported that noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) contribute to around 74% of deaths worldwide. A similar phenomenon can also be observed in Brunei Darussalam. One of the most cost-effective approaches to control the growing burden of NCDs is to reduce related modifiable risk factors. Objective: This study aims to propose a composite health score called Health Index, inspired by the 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine, which acts as a measure of health and can show how health changes over time at an individual and national level. Methods: Health Index is a series of questionnaires that captures users' health status on several domains of health and, upon completion, the users are categorized as either healthy, at risk, or in poor health. Users will also be able to view health advice based on their answers to the questionnaires. Results: The field testing results show Health Index as a promising population health management tool. 13.8% (166/1200) of the targeted users completed Health Index within 1 month, with 85% (1019/1200) of them in the "At Risk" category. We also identified diet as the most prominent health issue. Conclusions: In conclusion, the Health Index potentially enables early detection and management of NCD risk factors to mitigate the high cost of advanced disease and complications. In the future, we aim to retrospectively and prospectively validate the Health Index through several statistical analyses.
