Effects of a Text Message-Based Lifestyle Intervention on HbA1c and Health Behaviors in Older Adults with Prediabetes.
Trial report in Nutrients, 2026. 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesPrediabetes (PD) does not always progress to type 2 diabetes; however, lifestyle modification and weight loss are recommended to prevent disease progression. This study aimed to determine whether a text message-based intervention for older adults with PD in South Korea could reduce glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and promote healthy habits.
methodsA randomized controlled trial with two parallel groups was conducted and approved by the Institutional Review Board of Wonju Severance Christian Hospital (IRB No: CR321379). A text message intervention was provided only to the intervention group for six months, while the control group was advised to maintain their usual daily routines. The text messages covered the following categories: nutrition, exercise, medical knowledge, lifestyle, and self-reflective thoughts.
resultsA total of 96 participants aged 50 years and older underwent clinical measurements, completed the Korean Health Habits Questionnaire, and were assessed for quality of life at baseline and after the intervention. HbA1c, waist circumference, and fasting blood glucose decreased significantly in both groups (
conclusionsText message-based interventions may serve as an effective adjunctive self-management strategy to improve HbA1c levels and promote healthy habits in older adults with prediabetes.
