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

importanceHypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) increase cardiovascular disease risk. Postpartum interventions can motivate lifestyle changes but are not universally effective.

objectiveOur objective was to determine how behavioral phenotypes are associated with response to a digital health intervention designed to increase physical activity among 122 postpartum individuals with HDP. DESIGN AND

methodsWe conducted a secondary analysis of the STEP UP Mom trial, comparing a wearable step tracker with team-based gamification to a wearable step tracker alone over 12 weeks. Baseline behavioral characteristics were obtained using validated surveys. We applied the k-means clustering method to identify clusters. MAIN OUTCOME AND MEASURE: Linear mixed-effects models were used to estimate mean step count difference between arms from baseline across follow-up within each cluster.

resultsWe identified two distinct, non-overlapping clusters. Cluster 1 had higher baseline steps and greater psychosocial distress, without significant difference in change in step count in the intervention arm compared to the control arm. Cluster 2 had lower baseline steps and less psychosocial distress and walked 1,335 significantly more steps per day in the intervention arm compared to the control arm. Sustained engagement with the study intervention did not differ between clusters. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Behavioral phenotypes may help identify postpartum individuals who may benefit from tailored interventions in future studies to improve lifestyle changes.
