Patients' Experience of New Technologies and Digitalization in Diabetes Care in Germany.
Article in Journal of diabetes science and technology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundLittle is little known about how people with diabetes experience advancing digitization and new technologies in diabetes. RESEARCH QUESTION: What are the attitudes of people with diabetes (or, in the case of children with diabetes, their parents) toward digitization and advancing technology in diabetology? What significant advantages and disadvantages do they see, and how do they assess current developments of digitization in diabetology (eg, hybrid closed-loop systems, do-It-Yourself (DIY) closed-loop systems, data protection, and data donation)? MATERIAL AND
method3,427 people with diabetes (47.7% female, 65.6% type 1 diabetes (T1D), 25.5% type 2 diabetes (T2D), 8.1% parents of children with diabetes; 0.8% other type of diabetes, age 49.2 ± 19.3 years) were interviewed with an online survey.
resultsOverall, survey participants had a very positive attitude toward digitization (82.6%) and considered the potential for optimizing diabetology through digitization to be very high (78.8%). The highest rated advantages of digitization were "greater personal responsibility and self-determination in therapy" (80.0%), "better quality of treatment" (80.0%), and "better communication with the doctor/diabetes team" (77.3%), while the highest rated disadvantages were the "error-proneness of digital applications" (35.9%), the "risk of misuse of patient data" (32.3%) and the "fear that digitization will replace the doctor in many cases" (31.1%). The possibility of evaluating and analyzing glucose data by means of software, and AID systems, and the possibility of improving the interoperability of the various applications are currently rated as the most significant topics.
conclusionsThe vast majority of people with diabetes are very positive about new technologies in diabetology and expect that it will improve and simplify their diabetes therapy and reduce the burdens associated with diabetes. In particular, people with type 1 diabetes have high expectations for AID systems, viewing them as a kind of "technical cure" for their diabetes.
