Evaluation of a Web Platform to Record Lifestyle Habits in Subjects at Risk of Developing Type 2 Diabetes in a Middle-Income Population: Prospective Interventional Study.
Article in JMIR diabetes, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundLifestyle is the focus of type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevention strategies. Prevention strategies using mobile health (mHealth)-based therapy have shown positive results for T2D prevention in high-income settings, but little is known about their effectiveness in low- and middle-income populations where the burden of T2D is substantial. "Vida Sana" is a web platform designed to record lifestyle habits and medication use within a lifestyle change program.
objectiveWe sought to identify the barriers, feasibility, usability, and effectiveness of Vida Sana to record lifestyle habits in subjects at risk of developing T2D in a middle-income setting.
methodsThis was a 3-month prospective interventional study in Mexican individuals. A total of 77 subjects at risk of T2D (with prediabetes and BMI between 24 and 40 kg/m
resultsThe feasibility of Vida Sana was 42%, with 33 subjects using the platform, and the usability was 48.7 (SD 14.24). Reported barriers to platform usage were; difficulty in accessing the platform from difficulty of use (12 subjects, 36%), lack of time to record their habits (11 subjects, 34%), lack of interest to record their habits (6 subjects, 18%), and lack of resources (4 subjects, 11%). The platform was effective for lowering glucose in fasting (-3.1 mg/dL vs -0.11 [SD 8.08] mg/dL; P=.038) and at 2 hours (-16.9 mg/dL vs 2.5 [SD 26.1] mg/dL; P=.045), body fat percentage (-1.3 [-2.2 to -0.7] vs -1.02 [-1.9 to -0.3]; P=.02), and waist circumference (-3.2 [SD 5.1] cm vs -1.7 [SD 5.0] cm; P=.02) independent of their age, sex, treatment, and education level.
conclusionsThe use of the web platform was effective for improving glycemic and anthropometric parameters in a population at risk of developing diabetes. Improving accessibility and ease of navigation could improve the acceptance of digital health solutions in a middle-income population.
