Defeating diabetes in the desert: A community-based mHealth diabetes screening intervention in Jodhpur Rajasthan.

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
Background: There is a paucity of demonstrated models for mHealth-based diabetes screening and coordinated care in India, especially in western Rajasthan, which is the part of Thar desert. Materials and Methods: JSPH collaboratively developed and implemented an easy-to-use, noninvasive, mobile phone-based screening interview, to identify adults at high risk for diabetes. The high risk for diabetes was defined using multiple clinical and epidemiologic criteria, all based on the evidence for India and globally. Since participants above 35 years or older were only considered in the screening, the application was designed to categorize the participants as high and low risk. Results: Out of 4000 screened participants, the percentage of males and females were 51% and 50%, respectively. Participants found to be at high risk and low risk were Conclusions: JSPH mHealth application provided a novel noninvasive way to better identify those at high diabetes risk in the community and demonstrated how to optimize the use of mobile health methods in diabetes prevention and care services.
