"New technologies applied in self-care to patients with diabetic foot ulcers: a scoping review".
Review in Diabetology & metabolic syndrome, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundThe integration of new technologies has shown potential to enhance self-care practices among patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). Understanding the effectiveness of these interventions can inform clinical and public health strategies to prevent complications and improve patient outcomes.
objectivesThis scoping review aims to assess the impact of digital and educational technologies on self-care practices and health outcomes in individuals with diabetic foot ulcers. SOURCES OF EVIDENCE: Databases searched encompassed EMBASE, MEDLINE, SciELO, WoS, Scopus, and PubMed, covering publications up to September 2024. The search strategy incorporated MeSH terms and keywords related to "self-care," "diabetic foot ulcers," and "educational technology."
methodsAfter duplicate removal, titles and abstracts were screened independently by three reviewers. Full texts of selected articles were analyzed, and data regarding study design, interventions, outcomes, and populations were extracted using standardized forms. Discrepancies were resolved by consensus.
resultsFrom 442 identified records, 12 studies met inclusion criteria, primarily highlighting the role of mobile applications and digital educational tools in enhancing self-care behaviors, adherence, and complication prevention. Positive effects on patient knowledge and routine adherence were frequently reported.
conclusionsTechnological interventions show promise in improving self-care among DFU patients; however, further high-quality, longitudinal studies are needed to establish best practices and long-term benefits.
