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
objectiveMobile health (mHealth) applications (apps) help individuals achieve healthy lifestyle behaviors. We assessed feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of an mHealth app, Prosper, in helping adolescents with prediabetes track and achieve lifestyle modifications. RESEARCH DESIGN AND
methodsThis prospective pilot study enrolled adolescents aged 13-17 years with prediabetes. Participants downloaded the Prosper app and use was followed for 3 months after a prediabetes visit. App use, check-ins, and habits data were analyzed; surveys assessed feasibility, acceptability, and participant-reported efficacy. Primary outcomes were use and feasibility or acceptability of the app. Secondary outcomes included changes in BMI and hemoglobin A
resultsThe study enrolled 25 participants (median age 15.1 years; 76% female; 64% identified as Black adolescents; 76% identifed as non-Hispanic; and 56% had Medicaid insurance). Participants completed 2,057 habits, 575 check-ins, and 114 journals overall. The median number of check-ins per participant was 4 (interquartile range 2-18), and 36% completed ≥12 check-ins. Most participants (68%) set at least 2 habits, with a maximum of 14 habits. High satisfaction was reported by 74-87%. Most found the app easy to use (95.7-100%), helpful for tracking nutrition (61-78%) and exercise (56.5-86%), and easy to integrate into daily routines (52-73%). Baseline median BMI was 37.7 kg/m
conclusionsAdolescents reported high satisfaction with the Prosper app and found it easy to use, helpful for tracking nutrition and exercise goals, and easy to incorporate into daily routines. mHealth tools may support adolescent lifestyle modifications between clinical visits with broad scalability.
