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

Mobile phone-based health interventions (mHealth) are viewed as an attractive approach to foster behaviour change, and found to be effective in promoting physical activity and healthy diets. The present study aims to investigate whether mHealth with advice for dietary and lifestyle modifications would reduce 10-year cardio vascular disease (CVD) risk among overweight or obese adults aged 35-64 years in Sri Lanka. A two-group parallel-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted in Colombo district, recruiting 1200 individuals aged 35-64 years with a body mass index (BMI) of ≥25 kgm
