Perceptions of Using Multiple Mobile Health Devices to Support Self-Management Among Adults With Type 2 Diabetes: A Qualitative Descriptive Study.
Trial report in Journal of nursing scholarship : an official publication of Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04587336 (Tailored Approaches to Reduce Distress and Improve Self-Management for Veterans With Diabetes), which is not on this map. Cited by 10 papers, 2 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.

Abstract
purposeThis study identified facilitators and barriers pertaining to the use of multiple mobile health (mHealth) devices (Fitbit Alta® fitness tracker, iHealth® glucometer, BodyTrace® scale) that support self-management behaviors in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
designThis qualitative descriptive study presents study participants' perceptions of using multiple mobile devices to support T2DM self-management. Additionally, this study assessed whether participants found visualizations, generated from each participant's health data as obtained from the three separate devices, useful and easy to interpret.
methodsSemistructured interviews were completed with a convenience sample of participants (n = 20) from a larger randomized control trial on T2DM self-management. Interview questions focused on participants' use of three devices to support T2DM self-management. A study team member created data visualizations of each interview participant's health data using RStudio.
resultsWe identified two themes from descriptions of study participants: feasibility and usability. We identified one theme about visualizations created from data obtained from the mobile devices. Despite some challenges, individuals with T2DM found it feasible to use multiple mobile devices to facilitate engagement in T2DM self-management behaviors. DISCUSSION: As mHealth devices become increasingly popular for diabetes self-management and are integrated into care delivery, we must address issues associated with the use of multiple mHealth devices and the use of aggregate data to support T2DM self-management. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Real-time patient-generated health data that are easily accessible and readily available can assist T2DM self-management and catalyze conversations, leading to better self-management. Our findings lay an important groundwork for understanding how individuals with T2DM can use multiple mHealth devices simultaneously to support self-management.
