Mobile Applications to Support Diabetes Self-Management Education: Patient Experiences and Provider Perspectives.
Article 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. It is linked to trial NCT03999268 (Evaluation of Insulin Start Therapy Application With Resources and Training), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 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.

Abstract
backgroundDiabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) is a critical component of diabetes care, but time for it is often limited. Digital tools, such as mobile applications (apps), show promise in extending efforts and supporting self-management education, but have not been fully used. Objectives of this multi-phase study were to (1) evaluate an app designed to support patients with insulin therapy and (2) examine provider perspectives on DSMES apps.
methodsPhase 1: Thirty-two adult patients with type 2 diabetes new to or having difficulties with insulin therapy were introduced to the BD
resultsPhase 1: Patients reported satisfaction with the app, and significant improvements in HbA1c and diabetes distress were observed. Phase 2: Most providers viewed apps as adjuncts to diabetes education. Only 33% had previous app experience; however, 100% would consider recommending apps to their patients. Most would spend 5-15 minutes introducing apps to patients. All respondents agreed that the following DSMES app features-evidence-based educational content, data logging and tracking features, customizable user experience, digital coaching via goal setting or reminders, and ability to share data with providers-are key components to consider.
conclusionsFindings suggest DSMES apps can play a role in self-management support and provide guidance on factors to consider when introducing digital tools into clinical practice.
