Toward research-tested mobile health interventions to prevent diabetes and cardiovascular disease among persons with pre-diabetes.
Article in Journal of hospital management and health policy, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundAbout 35% of US adults have pre-diabetes and an increased risk of diabetes. Consumer-facing devices such as the Fitbit help users become more physically active and manage their weight which reduces risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
methodsIn this commentary we provide a summary of healthy lifestyle intervention studies involving persons with pre-diabetes including those conducted in routine clinical practice. We also provide an account of how such interventions might be enhanced through the use of wearable devices linked to smartphone applications.
resultsIn initial trials focusing on overweight and obesity, consumer wearable devices have been shown to increase physical activity and reduce weight. However, the acceptability and effectiveness of these mHealth interventions among persons with impaired glucose tolerance or impaired fasting glucose is unknown; studies involving persons with pre-diabetes have not yet been reported.
conclusionsResearch is needed to determine the feasibility and efficacy of wearable devices in improving physical activity and weight management in persons with pre-diabetes who are at-risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
