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

purposeThe primary objective of the present pilot study was to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of the newly developed self-care system using personal digital assistance in patients with type 2 diabetes. The secondary objective was to investigate changes in daily calorie intake, body weight, and hemoglobin A1c after using the system for 6 months.

methodThe participants were nine outpatients with type 2 diabetes, aged 34-72 and living in Tokyo or surrounding prefectures. They were instructed to use the electronic food diary and to review the graphs of the total energy intake to control food intake under their own target value for 6 months. After they completed the study, the feasibility indicated by adherence rate for food recording and acceptability of the system rated with 6-point Likert scale from 1 (worst) to 6 (best) by the participants were investigated.

resultsSeven participants out of nine completed the study protocol. The median adherence rate for food recording was 80.6 %. Regarding the acceptability, six patients rated 6 for desire to use the system while one rated 5. In addition, regarding improvement in self-care for diabetes, the median score was 5. Daily calorie intake, body weight, and HbA1c, however, did not change significantly over the 6-month period.

conclusionThe newly developed self-care system might be feasible and acceptable in diabetes patients, which could be applied as an ecological momentary intervention tool, although there was some room to refine it to raise adherence.
