The app is called Zero.
From the actual results of the study (CMT is consistent meal timing, TRE is time restricted eating aka intermittent fasting):
> There was a significant decrease in weight in the TRE group (−0.94 kg; 95% CI, −1.68 kg to −0.20 kg; P = .01) and a nonsignificant decrease in weight in the CMT group (−0.68 kg; 95% CI, −1.41 kg to 0.05 kg; P = .07). Importantly, there was no significant difference in weight change between groups (−0.26 kg; 95% CI, −1.30 kg to 0.78 kg; P = .63)
Both groups lost weight, the IF group lost more but the difference between the groups is not significant. Not quite what the title or article say. It would be good to see the actual dataset.

- haffi112 6y agoThe effect for this experiment is like too small to be significant. Either the study should have been longer or there should have been more participants. The data seems to suggest there being an effect albeit a small one. The interpretation of the result in the article seems to miss the point of what not meeting significance means... as is common in reports of scientific studies in mass media.
