Potential Use of Voice-Activated Personal Assistants in Diabetes Prevention and Management: An Exploratory Qualitative Study Using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research.
Article in Health promotion practice, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BackgroundDiabetes affects millions of people in the United States and poses significant health and economic challenges, but it can be prevented or managed through health behavior changes. Such changes might be aided by voice-activated personal assistants (VAPAs), which offer interactive and real-time assistance through features such as reminders, or obtaining health information. However, there are little data on interest and acceptability of integrating VAPAs into programs such as the National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) or diabetes, self-management, education, and support (DSMES) services.MethodsWe conducted individual and small-group semi-structured interviews of National DPP and DSMES staff and program participants. We used rapid-turnaround qualitative thematic analysis to identify emerging themes using an adapted version of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR).ResultsNearly all program participants and staff had prior experience with VAPAs, but not in the context of these programs. Most program participants felt confident in their ability to use VAPAs but were concerned about their privacy and security. Program staff were optimistic about the feasibility of integrating VAPAs into existing programs given their ability to support healthy habit formation, but staff were less optimistic about using VAPAs to share health information. Program staff also felt that additional resources to support VAPA use would help ensure that VAPAs would not create an extra burden on staff and program participants.ImplicationsIntegrating VAPAs as a resource to enhance mobile applications already in use shows potential to support health behavior change. Future research should include how this technology could be further optimized to enhance utility.
