Efficacy of Self-Review of Lifestyle Behaviors with Once-Weekly Glycated Albumin Measurement in People with Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Pilot Study.

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
introductionLifestyle management, including appropriate modifications of nutrition, exercise, and medication behaviors, is essential for optimal glycemic control. The absence of appropriate monitoring methods to validate the lifestyle change may hinder the modification and continuation of behaviors. In this study, we evaluated whether once-weekly glycated albumin (GA) measurement received via a smartphone application could improve glycemia management in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus by supporting self-review and modification of lifestyle behaviors.
methodsThis open-label, randomized controlled, single-center study in Japan with an 8-week intervention period was conducted in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus and HbA1c levels between 7.0 and 9.0% (53‒75 mmol/mol). The intervention was once-weekly home monitoring of GA with a daily self-review of lifestyle behaviors using a smartphone application, in addition to conventional treatment.
resultsA total of 98 participants (72.0% males; age 63.2 ± 11.4 years; HbA1c 7.39 ± 0.39% [57.3 ± 4.3 mmol/mol]) were randomly assigned to the intervention or control group. Significant decreases of the GA and HbA1c levels from the baseline to the last observation day were observed in the intervention group (- 1.71 ± 1.37% [- 39.1 ± 31.3 mmol/mol] and - 0.32 ± 0.32% [- 3.5 ± 3.5 mmol/mol], respectively). Significant decreases of the body weight, waist circumference, and caloric expenditure (p < 0.0001 and p = 0.0003, p = 0.0346, respectively), but not of the caloric intake (p = 0.678), were also observed in the intervention group as compared with the control group.
conclusionsSelf-review of lifestyle behaviors in combination with once-weekly GA home testing received via a smartphone application might potentially benefit glycemic management in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
