Patient Empowerment Using Electronic Telemonitoring With Telephone Support in the Transition to Insulin Therapy in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes: Observational, Pre-Post, Mixed Methods Study.
Article in Journal of medical Internet research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundInitiation of insulin therapy for the management of type 2 diabetes can be an unwelcome and distressful development for patients. Current evidence suggests that telemonitoring can help improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetes and can support empowerment to self-manage diabetes. This telemonitoring intervention was underpinned by an empowerment approach.
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness and feasibility and the patients' and health care providers' experiences of a 12-week telemonitoring intervention with telephone support for patients commencing insulin therapy. This paper focuses on the impact on patient empowerment.
methodsAn observational, pre-post, multimethod, and triangulation design was employed to study a 12-week automated electronic telemonitoring intervention with telephone support from a diabetes clinical nurse specialist (CNS). Forty patients were recruited from the clinic as they were about to commence insulin therapy. In the quantitative arm, biometric data (hemoglobin A
resultsOf 39 patients who completed the intervention, 23 (59%) were male. The mean age of the sample was 62.4 years (range 37-80 years). The mean HbA
conclusionsThis intervention had an empowering effect for patients in the self-management of type 2 diabetes and has the potential to meet the need for safer and more effective care in insulin initiation in the community setting. We observed a significant increase in workload for health care staff. Telemonitoring needs to be streamlined with health care delivery and accompanied by adequate support services.
