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.

Abstract

backgroundMost breast cancer survivors (BCS) are insufficiently active. mHealth moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) interventions for BCS are highly scalable, but the feasibility and acceptability of specific intervention components are unknown. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of the Fit2Thrive MVPA promotion intervention components.

methodsUsing Multiphase Optimization Strategy methodology, inactive BCS [n = 269; Mage = 52.5; (SD ± 9.9)] received a core intervention (Fitbit + Fit2Thrive smartphone app) and were randomly assigned to receive zero to five components for 12 weeks: (i) support calls; (ii) deluxe app; (iii) text messages, (iv) online gym; and (v) Buddy. Feasibility was measured through study accrual, retention, and adherence rates. Acceptability was measured via post-program evaluations.

resultsEnrollment rates were high; 419 BCS expressed interest in the study, 348 (83%) passed screening, and 269 (77%) were randomized; 98% (n = 264) received the intervention. Retention was 94% at 12 weeks. Fitbits were worn on 93% of study days. Most reported using the app ≥5 days/week (67%), enjoyed using the Fitbit (79%), and were satisfied with their study experience (88%) and the Fit2Thrive app design (79%). Component adherence rates and acceptability varied by intervention component. Component-specific effects on MVPA goal adherence and overall acceptability ratings were significant for telephone support calls.

conclusionsFindings indicate Fit2Thrive's feasibility and acceptability were high overall but may vary by component. Future work should refine and test components to maximize participant engagement, efficacy, and scalability. CLINICAL TRIAL INFORMATION: The Clinical Trials Registration NCT03131440.
