Communication plays a critical role in web-based monitoring.
Article in Journal of diabetes science and technology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
backgroundPatient-health care practitioner (HCP) interaction via a Web-based diabetes management system may increase patient monitoring of their blood glucose (BG) levels.
methodsA three-center, nonrandomized, prospective feasibility study of 109 Native Americans with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetes mellitus were recruited from Alabama, Idaho, and Arizona. The study intervention included the use of a Web-based diabetes management application (MyCareTeam) that allowed timely interaction between patients and HCPs. Information about diabetes, nutrition, and exercise was also available. Finally, patients were able to provide BG readings to their HCP via the MyCareTeam system.
resultsAs a result, 59.6% of the patients sent one or more messages to their HCP, 92.67% received one or more messages from their HCP, and 78.89% received one or more person-centered messages from their HCP. Additionally, the number of times a patient logged into the system and the frequency with which they tested their blood sugar were correlated with (a) the number of messages sent to their HCP, (b) the total number of messages received from their HCP, and (c) the number of person-centered messages received from their HCP. Thus patients who sent more messages also tested their BG more frequently, as measured by the number of BG readings uploaded from their meter to the MyCareTeam database. Person-centered messages seem to be particularly important to motivating the patient to monitor their BG levels and use the Web-based system.
conclusionsThese results suggest that patient-HCP interaction and, in particular, more personalized interactions increases patient frequency of BG monitoring.
