Smartphone Application-Based Rehabilitation Program for Older Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Insights From the Design, Development, and Validation.
Article in Journal of diabetes science and technology, 2025. 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
backgroundOlder adults facing chronic health challenges may experience significant advantages from smartphone technologies. This study aimed to design, develop, and validate a smartphone application to deliver rehabilitation programs to older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
methodsThis study consisted of three phases: (1) Assessment of need, (2) Design and development of the smartphone application, and (3) Evaluation of the smartphone application by content validation. The Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool for Audiovisual Materials (PEMAT-A/V) validated the smartphone application. This validation was performed through direct interaction between the validators and the system, relevant observations were identified, and suggestions were noted during and after the test.
resultsThe smartphone application consisted of six modules, with content delivered through photos, videos, text, and flyers. Eight experts and twenty-five older adults over 60 years and diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus completed the validation. The smartphone application received a good median understandability score of over 90 from experts and over 80 by end users, and a median actionability score of 100 by experts and over 100 by end users on the PEMAT-A/V.
conclusionThis newly developed smartphone application has been validated and is now ready for evaluation to assess its effectiveness in improving the delivery of rehabilitation programs in older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
