The effect of digital health intervention in promoting healthy behavior: A systematic scoping review on strategies to prevent non-communicable diseases.
Review in Dialogues in health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Digital health interventions are increasingly used to prevent non-communicable diseases (NCDs) by promoting healthy behaviors, yet evidence on which digital features are most effective remains fragmented. This systematic scoping review aimed to (1) identify the most commonly used types of digital interventions and their target populations for NCD prevention, (2) examine the primary objectives associated with each digital feature, and (3) assess their effectiveness in improving knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across seven databases (PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, JSTOR, Medline, CINAHL, and ProQuest). Following PRISMA guidelines, 20 peer-reviewed studies published between 2018 and 2024 met the inclusion criteria. Data were extracted on digital features, intervention objectives, and outcomes related to knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. Results: Messaging platforms were the most common ( Conclusions: Messaging platforms and mobile applications emerged as the most frequently used and effective digital features for NCD prevention. Multi-feature interventions and platform-outcome alignment appear crucial to maximize effectiveness in digital health programs promoting healthy behavior.
