Stakeholder perspectives on machine learning models predicting diabetic foot ulcers and amputations in diabetes care: a scenario-based interview study.
Article in Frontiers in digital health, 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: Predictive machine learning models can support timely interventions for diabetes management. However, there is limited insight into stakeholder perspectives on their use in healthcare, which is important for alignment with expectations and in turn fostering adoption. Objective: This study aimed to identify stakeholder perspectives on the (1) scenarios of use, and (2) the values and attributes of two machine learning models predicting diabetic foot ulcers and amputations in diabetes care. Materials and Methods: Five diabetes patients, two healthcare workers and four experts involved in system integration aspects participated in semi-structured interviews. Three scenario components were presented to help participants articulate their needs and preferences. Attributes were inductively identified from interview data and directly linked to scenarios of use, with values analyzed based on the identified attributes. Results: We identified four scenarios of use namely (1) supporting healthcare workers' decision making, (2) supporting patient empowerment, (3) improving appointment planning based on risk, and (4) providing early warnings concerning acute risks. In addition, thirteen values were identified: supporting patient awareness, hybrid approach, detecting acute risks, collaboration between healthcare workers at different levels, unobtrusiveness, integration into existing systems, explainability, translating patient data from EHRS into clinically relevant insights, risk-based stratification of care, continuous development, interoperability, privacy, and regulatory compliance. Discussion: The insights of this study can guide the creation of a system that integrate machine learning models for the prediction of diabetic foot ulcers and amputations.
