Tailoring Educational Content for T2DM Patients: A Qualitative Study on Preferences for Interactive Multimedia Applications.
Article in Journal of the ASEAN Federation of Endocrine Societies, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: The development of interactive multimedia-based applications has become increasingly important in providing effective health education to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients. Understanding the educational content required for such applications from local patients' perspectives is crucial for designing a user-friendly and impactful tool for T2DM management. Objective: This study aims to investigate patients' views and preferences on the educational content and features of an interactive multimedia-based application for T2DM patients. Methodology: Semi-structured qualitative interviews were carried out with a sample of T2DM outpatients (n = 16) at a tertiary referral university hospital in Kuala Lumpur between October 2022 and January 2023. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and subjected to thematic analysis. Result: The majority of participants had been diagnosed with T2DM for less than ten years. The thematic analysis identified several key aspects related to the educational content required for development of a multimedia-based application. These include preference for educational materials, essential contents and interactive features. The participants also proposed a discussion area within such applications that would allow them to communicate and receive immediate advice from healthcare professionals, thus eliminating the need for frequent hospital visits. Conclusion: The findings of this study highlight the significance of interactive multimedia-based applications in providing health education for T2DM patients. The identified essential content areas from the patients' perspectives can inform the development of effective tailored educational materials for patient's benefit.
