Lifestyle interventions improving health-related quality of life: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized control trials.
Review in Journal of education and health promotion, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Lifestyle interventions have garnered significant research interest for their potential to enhance health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Understanding the impact of these interventions on various dimensions of HRQoL is crucial for effective healthcare strategies. This study aims to systematically review and meta-analyze the effects of lifestyle interventions on HRQoL in randomized control trials. A systematic search was conducted across five scientific databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, the Cochrane Library, and gray literature, with a filter applied to include only English language publications. Study selection was carried out by two independent reviewers in several steps, including duplicate removal and eligibility evaluation for meta-analysis. Information extracted from the studies included authors, countries, study designs, target populations, ages, genders, number of participants, interventions, outcomes, and results. A total of 61 randomized control trials were included in this meta-analysis. The meta-analysis revealed that lifestyle interventions significantly improved healthrelated quality of life compared to control groups, with Hedges' g of 0.38 (95% CI 0.25-0.50, Z = 5.94; P < 0.001; I2 = 84.59%). This positive effect was consistently observed in patients with heart-related diseases and metabolic disorders. Meta-regression analysis indicated that lifestyle interventions had the most substantial impact on health-related quality of life in the 1-month follow-up period. Considering the cost-effectiveness of lifestyle interventions compared to other intervention types, they can benefit various patient groups. This systematic review contributes to health policy goals by advocating focused preventive strategies in alignment with the observed benefits of lifestyle interventions.
