A Nudge Theory-Based Mobile Health Intervention for Self-Management in Young and Middle-Aged Patients With Hypertension: Mixed Methods Pilot Study.
Article 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: Young and middle-aged patients with hypertension often show poor self-management due to limited cognitive bandwidth. Mobile health apps using behavioral economics may be helpful for these patients. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the preliminary effectiveness and usability of a nudge-based mobile app (LeYi) for improving self-management in young and middle-aged patients with hypertension. Methods: This mixed-methods pilot study used a single-group pre-post design. Thirty participants completed a 24-week intervention. Outcomes were assessed using validated scales and interviews. Results: Self-management scores showed significant pre-to-post improvements (median change from 68.0 to 108.5; Conclusions: The LeYi app may be feasible and acceptable for enhancing self-management in young and middle-aged patients with hypertension. However, a larger randomized controlled trial is needed to determine its efficacy. Embedding behavioral economics into mobile health is a promising approach to support patient engagement.
