Exploring Decentralized Glucose and Behaviometric Monitoring of Persons with Type 2 Diabetes in the Setting of a Clinical Trial.
Trial report in Journal of diabetes science and technology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundClinical trials often suffer from recruitment barriers and poor adherence, which increases costs and affects trial outcomes.
objectiveTo investigate the feasibility of Decentralized Clinical Trial (DCT) design elements to recruit, enroll, and engage patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
methodsPatients with T2DM were recruited through a pharmacy and online recruitment using advert on Facebook, to 3 weeks monitoring of glucose and behaviometric parameters. Subjects recruited online could either complete an informed consent conversation in the pharmacy or through live video call managed by the study app.A continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device to collect glucose data, and a hybrid smartwatch to monitor heart rate, track activity and sleep pattern were delivered by postal service to the participants' home address. The devices were connected to a study specific app on the participant's smartphone also capturing GPS data and questionnaire answers.
resultsTwenty-six subjects (3 pharmacy, 23 online) with T2DM were recruited, 85% preferred online informed consent conversation. All participants were able to self-apply the CGM device, use the smartwatch, and download the app. GPS location was captured more than 100 times for each participant, and more than 90% completed all 3 questionnaires. All the participants felt safe with the informed consent process and they felt confident in participating from home. Three participants dropped-out during the study period leaving a retention rate at 87%.
conclusionsUse of DCT design elements to conduct a T2DM study is feasible regarding recruitment, data collection from various electronic devices, and participant engagement.
