Implementation and Evaluation of an Automated Text Message-Based Diabetes Prevention Program for Adults With Pre-diabetes.
Article in Journal of diabetes science and technology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundDespite the efficacy of diabetes prevention programs, only an estimated 5% of people with pre-diabetes actually participate. Mobile health (mHealth) holds promise to engage patients with pre-diabetes into lifestyle modification programs by decreasing the referral burden, centralizing remote enrollment, removing the physical requirement of a brick-and-mortar location, lowering operating costs through automation, and reducing time and transportation barriers.
methodsNon-randomized implementation study enrolling patients with pre-diabetes from a large health care organization. Patients were exposed to a text message-based program combining live human coaching guidance and support with automated scheduled, interactive, data-driven, and on-demand messages. The primary analysis examined predicted weight outcomes at 6 and 12 months. Secondary outcomes included predicted changes in HbA1c and minutes of exercise at 6 and 12 months.
resultsOf the 163 participants included in the primary analysis, participants had a mean predicted weight loss of 5.5% at six months (
conclusionsIn this real-world implementation of the myAgileLife Diabetes Prevention Program among patients with pre-diabetes, we observed significant decreases in weight and HbA1c at 6 and 12 months. mHealth may represent an effective and easily scalable potential solution to deliver impactful diabetes prevention curricula to large numbers of patients.
