Evaluating the impact of social media reminders on outpatient appointment attendance among diabetes patients using continuous glucose monitors: a retrospective study.

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: Use of specialized devices such as a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for patients with diabetes are most beneficial if patients attend their follow-up appointment. We evaluated the use of a social media reminder system for patient attendance to a CGM follow-up appointment. Methods: A retrospective analysis compared use of social media appointment reminders to paper-based reminders among 171 patients with diabetes receiving a CGM at a public hospital in suburban New York City. The multivariate logistic regression analysis for the outcome of attendance at an outpatient follow-up visit adjusted for demographic and health variables. Results: The social media reminder group (88.2%, n = 60/68) had a significantly ( Conclusion: Social media reminders were associated with increased outpatient appointment attendance for patients with diabetes using CGMs. We recommend wider use of social media platforms, especially WhatsApp, by health care facilities for their reminder systems to improve outpatient appointment attendance among patients with diabetes.
