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

Background: Digital health applications generate rich behavioral data; yet, how users transition between behavioral states remains poorly understood. Existing approaches show limited capacity to capture and represent the evolving and nuanced nature of real-world behavioral dynamics, which are essential for informing personalized behavior change interventions. Objective: This study aimed to understand how users' behaviors evolve within digital health applications by developing a data-driven approach that captures transition dynamics across behavioral features. We aimed to validate modeled transitions against observed user data, analyze transition pathways, and derive interpretable insights. Methods: We analyzed 32 weeks of data from 36,574 users from a population health program run by the Health Promotion Board (HPB) in Singapore. We developed a graph-based behavioral trajectory model (GraphBeTraM Results: We observed strong alignment between observed and modeled transition matrices with strong correlation (Spearman ρ=0.82; Conclusions: GraphBeTraM provides an interpretable framework for modeling behavioral transitions in digital health applications and captures key dynamics that support personalized intervention design.
