Effectiveness of a Smartphone-Based Self-Management App (BeHealth app) for Women with Breast Cancer: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Iranian journal of public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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: Self-management and health behaviors are essential for improving the quality of life and preventing subsequent complications in patients with breast cancer. To investigate effects of a smartphone-application-based diet and exercise self-management program (BeHealth app) on self-efficacy, health behaviors, and selected cardiometabolic risk factors (body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, and fasting glucose) in women with breast cancer. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 49 participants (24 experimental, 25 control) in Seoul between Jan and Feb 2017, assigned using block randomization via Microsoft Excel. They received counseling and underwent a physical examination and blood testing at both trial's commencement and at a follow-up 12 wk later. The experimental group was given the BeHealth app for setting health goals, keeping a self-diagnosis and health record, and using chat space and health information for 12 wk. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS with ANOVA to assess the BeHealth app's effects on self-efficacy, health behaviors, and selected cardiometabolic risk factors over time between and within groups. Results: The experimental group showed significantly increased levels of vegetable intake( Conclusion: The BeHealth app could be further developed to have compatibility with medical data and use in hospitals so that it is more appealing to target breast cancer survivors and increase its effectiveness for decreasing cardiometabolic risk factors in breast cancer survivors.
