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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness in the promotion of physical and mental health of health professionals working in primary care through the use of a mobile application that includes three modules: physical exercise, nutrition and positive emotional health.

designQuasi-experimental, before-after, non-randomized study that evaluates the effectiveness of the Cuídate section of the SalusOne® mobile application, specifically in the modules of emotional well-being, virtual gym and healthy eating. PLACE: Bilbao-Basurto and Rioja Alavesa Integrated Health Organizations.

participants100 primary care professionals, of whom 58 completed the study. The majority were women (93.1%), with a mean age of 45.2 years. Nursing professionals predominated (56.9%).

interventionsUse of the "Cuídate" section of the SalusOne® app, which includes: virtual gym, healthy eating module and emotional well-being module. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Baseline and 6-month assessments on physical health, mental health (DASS-21 scale), eating habits and satisfaction with the intervention.

resultsSignificant improvements were observed in LDL-cholesterol (-4.5mg/dL; p=0.033), HDL-cholesterol (+3.8mg/dL; p=0.004), glycosylated hemoglobin (-0.05%; p=0.038) and daily fruit consumption (+0.43 pieces; p<0.001). The DASS-21 scale showed statistically significant reductions in depression, anxiety and stress. 74.6% expressed high satisfaction and a desire to continue using the tool.

conclusionsCuídate program could have a positive effect on the physical and emotional health of healthcare professionals. Despite the methodological limitations and the low adherence rate, the results suggest its usefulness as an accessible strategy for promoting occupational health.
