The Effect of a Mobile Health Dietary Education Intervention on Ultra-processed Food Consumption in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Current developments in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03784612 (The HAPPY-study), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
Background: Globally, there is a significant rise in the consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs), which has been associated with negative health outcomes. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions could be used to target dietary intake and reduce UPF consumption. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the effect of an mHealth education intervention for healthy eating on UPF consumption in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study presents the results of an exploratory analysis of data from the Healthy eating using APP technologY (HAPPY) Trial. Methods: Conducting post-hoc analyses on data from the HAPPY trial, we examined the effect of a 12-week mHealth dietary education intervention. Dietary intake was assessed at baseline and after 3 months using 4-day food records. The NOVA classification was used to quantify UPF consumption. A total of 80 participants (intervention group Results: The majority of participants were males (61.3%), the mean age was 63.0 years, and the mean body mass index 29.7 kg/m Conclusions: This exploratory study, based on data from the HAPPY trial, indicates that the mHealth dietary education intervention did not significantly reduce UPF consumption in individuals with T2DM. Interventions specifically targeting UPF intake require further investigation and might provide a promising strategy for addressing this issue in the future.This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03784612 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT03784612).
