Digital Diabetes Health Coaching for Adults With Uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes: 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. 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: Recent advancements in digital health have enabled the development of technology-enhanced diabetes coaching programs that offer personalized, data-driven, and adaptive support. However, evidence on their implementation and impact is scattered and has not been comprehensively synthesized. Although numerous studies have informed intervention development using different theories and models, the diversity of these approaches creates a significant challenge in developing an evidence-based intervention that is adaptable and effective across different population groups. Objective: This scoping review aims to systematically map and synthesize existing evidence on digital diabetes coaching and to identify critical gaps in the use of digital coaching among individuals with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes. Methods: This review will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology and the population-concept-context (PCC) framework to guide the search process. The review process will adhere to the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines. A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and APA PsycInfo. The methodological quality of the included studies will be appraised using JBI critical appraisal tools for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-experimental studies, and the findings will be reported and contextualized descriptively. Results: This scoping review protocol was developed in September 2025 as part of a postdoctoral research fellowship at Queen's University, funded through the Connected Minds program. The database search commenced in October 2025 and was completed in December 2025. The search strategy was finalized in consultation with a health sciences librarian, and a pilot-tested data extraction form was developed before full extraction. Findings from this scoping review are expected to be submitted for publication in 2026. Conclusions: This scoping review will provide a comprehensive and systematic map of existing evidence on digital diabetes coaching and will identify critical gaps in the literature. Evidence from this review will support the development of a digital diabetes coaching application for individuals with type 2 diabetes.
