A Pilot Feasibility Study of a Virtual Lifestyle Intervention for Individuals with Schizophrenia.
Article in Community mental health journal, 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
Individuals with schizophrenia experience early mortality from physical health conditions. Lifestyle interventions are effective; however, barriers interfere with in-person program participation. This two-period randomized cross-over pilot study evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of a virtual lifestyle intervention in n = 19 individuals with schizophrenia. Secondary analyses explored outcome changes between intervention and control groups. Results indicated modest retention (58%) and intervention engagement (67%) for Period 1 (weeks 1-11) with especially low rates in Period 2 (weeks 12-22; retention: 37%, intervention engagement: 50%). Of participants with satisfaction data (n = 6), nearly all participants reported that the intervention was helpful and easy to follow. Secondary outcome changes during Period 1 favored the intervention group on nutritional knowledge, physical activity, mental health, physical health, exercise motivation, self-esteem, and weight/body mass index (Cohen's ds: 0.35-2.09). Due to attrition and sparsity of data, neither a cross-over design analysis nor examination of outcome changes during Period 2 was conducted. Although satisfaction results and outcome changes from Period 1 were encouraging, the low rates of retention and intervention engagement in Period 2 raise feasibility concerns. Intervention development research is needed to determine whether modifications to this virtual lifestyle intervention would enhance feasibility and acceptability for people with schizophrenia.
