A culturally and linguistically adapted text-message Diabetes Prevention Program for Latinos: Feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness.
Article in Translational behavioral medicine, 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
Despite the general positive outcomes of the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), the program's reach, adherence, and effectiveness among Latinos are still suboptimal. Text-message DPP can potentially overcome barriers and improve DPP outcomes for this group. We aimed to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminarily effectiveness of a culturally and linguistically adapted text-message DPP for Latinos. We enrolled 26 eligible Spanish-speaking Latino adults at risk of developing type 2 diabetes (A1c = 5.7%-6.4%, body mass index ≥25) in a 6-month culturally and linguistically adapted text-message DPP. Participants received (i) two to three daily automated text-messages about healthy eating, physical activity, problem-solving skills, lifestyle change motivation, and logistics, (ii) on-demand keyword-driven messages, and (iii) on-demand chat messages with a DPP coach. Outcomes included feasibility (e.g. adherence), acceptability (e.g. satisfaction), and preliminary effectiveness (e.g. weight loss). Twenty-four participants completed the program and follow-up assessments. Participants' mean body weight changed from 191.2 to 186.7 pounds (P = .004); 45.8% of participants lost ≥3%, and 29.2% lost ≥5% of body weight. Body mass index and waist circumference were also reduced [0.9 kg/m2 (P = .003) and 1.1 cm (P = .03), pre-post]. Self-reported physical activity frequency was increased (P = .003). No statistically significant changes in diet quality were found. Most participants were satisfied with the program and perceived it to help prevent diabetes. Our pilot study of an innovative text-message DPP for Latinos demonstrated the program was acceptable, feasible, and potentially effective. Using text-message for DPP can reduce barriers to in-person participation by increasing the program's reach without compromising fidelity and effectiveness.
