A Technology-Enhanced Medical Nutrition Therapy and Diabetes Self-Management Education for Adults With Disability and Type 2 Diabetes: Protocol for a Pilot and Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundDiabetes mellitus (DM) is a serious chronic disorder that affects many individuals globally, particularly persons with disabilities, and has long-term adverse effects on the health of individuals and society. Effective self-management education is therefore required. Diabetes management focused on medical nutrition therapy (MNT) and diabetes self-management education (DSME) combined with telehealth technology has the potential to increase the active performance of diabetes management behaviors among persons with disabilities and improve their overall quality of life and quality of self-care.
objectiveThis study aims to evaluate the impact of different levels of technology on the delivery of MNT and DSME among persons with disabilities.
methodsThe study is a single-blinded, 3-arm, randomized controlled trial among adults living with both type 2 diabetes and a permanent physical disability. Web-based recruitment is done through partner organizations. The target sample size is 90 participants randomized into 3 arms: a high-technology, a low-technology, and an attention control arm. The high-technology arm receives diabetes-related materials weekly through mediums such as email, a telehealth platform, and text; the low-technology arm receives only 1 weekly email with diabetes-related material; and the attention control arm has no technology support. The intervention is provided by a certified diabetes care and education specialist. Using multivariate linear mixed models, the study examines the relationships between the level of technology intervention and DM self-management behaviors, self-efficacy, and reductions in glycated hemoglobin (HbA
resultsData collection began in June 2024 with a total of 90 recruited participants. The intervention was delivered. Make-up classes were delivered to participants in any of the 3 cohorts between November 2024 and December 2024. The final 3-month follow-up classes were held for each cohort 3 months after the first class. Data analysis is anticipated to be completed in fall 2025.
conclusionsEffective self-management in DM is important to reduce complications. Using technology to deliver MNT and DSME could serve as an effective and convenient strategy for providing these interventions. However, intervention studies are required to determine the most effective level of technology for delivering MNT and DSME intervention to this target group. The YumABLE study is expected to provide new, meaningful, and detailed information about the effectiveness of technology and telehealth platforms for effectively delivering an MNT and DSME program for people living with a permanent physical disability and type 2 diabetes. The results will further improve web- and technology-based diabetes self-management interventions for people with disabilities.
