The Current Landscape of Remote Patient Monitoring Regarding Diabetes Mellitus and Hypoglycemia: Protocol for a Scoping Review.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundDiabetes mellitus is characterized by impaired glucose regulation, predisposing patients to both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia, particularly frequent in insulin-treated individuals, remains a serious but underrecognized complication. Remote patient monitoring (RPM) technologies, such as continuous glucose monitors, smartphone apps, and hybrid closed-loop systems with remote monitoring capabilities, have emerged as promising tools to improve glycemic control and prevent hypoglycemia in nonclinical settings. Evidence examining the use of RPM technologies has expanded rapidly; however, the scope, characteristics, and reported outcomes of these interventions remain fragmented across modalities and settings.
objectiveThis scoping review aims to systematically map and describe the extent, range, and characteristics of published evidence on RPM interventions for glycemic management among adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes in nonclinical settings.
methodsThe review will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute scoping review methodology and adhere to the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews) reporting guidelines. The population, concept, and context framework defines the population as adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who experience or are at risk for hypoglycemia; the concept as RPM techniques (continuous glucose monitors, hybrid closed-loop systems with remote monitoring capabilities, telemedicine, and smartphone apps); and the context as nonclinical environments. The PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases will be searched, supplemented by gray literature. Eligible studies will include clinical trials, observational studies, and cohort studies; reviews, case studies, and non-English articles will be excluded. Two independent reviewers will conduct screening, data extraction, and summarization. Findings will be synthesized descriptively in tabular and narrative formats.
resultsAt the time of submission, the protocol has been registered, and the formal search strategy is being finalized. As of March 2026, the formal database search has been completed, and screening of studies is scheduled to begin in April 2026.
conclusionsThis protocol outlines a structured approach to mapping the current landscape of RPM interventions for glycemic management in nonclinical settings. The completed review will synthesize reported intervention characteristics and outcomes to clarify existing evidence and identify areas for future investigation.
