The ACTIVATE Digital Health Pilot Program for Diabetes and Hypertension in an Underserved and Rural Community.
Article in Applied clinical informatics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
backgroundCommunity health centers and patients in rural and agricultural communities struggle to address diabetes and hypertension in the face of health disparities and technology barriers. The stark reality of these digital health disparities were highlighted during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.
objectivesThe objective of the ACTIVATE (Accountability, Coordination, and Telehealth in the Valley to Achieve Transformation and Equity) project was to codesign a platform for remote patient monitoring and program for chronic illness management that would address these disparities and offer a solution that fit the needs and context of the community.
methodsACTIVATE was a digital health intervention implemented in three phases: community codesign, feasibility assessment, and a pilot phase. Pre- and postintervention outcomes included regularly collected hemoglobin A1c (A1c) for participants with diabetes and blood pressure for those with hypertension.
resultsParticipants were adult patients with uncontrolled diabetes and/or hypertension (
conclusionThe ACTIVATE pilot demonstrated that a codesigned solution for remote patient monitoring and chronic illness management delivered by community health centers can overcome digital divide barriers and show positive health outcomes for rural and agricultural residents.
