[Mobile health technologies, social justice and population-based vulnerabilities : A public health ethics perspective on mHealth using the example of type 2 diabetes mellitus].
Review in Bundesgesundheitsblatt, Gesundheitsforschung, Gesundheitsschutz, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Mobile health technologies (mHealth) promote the trend towards personal responsibility and self-management. By using the example of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), the article aims to deepen the discussion on mHealth, personal responsibility and justice-which has so far only been rudimentary-from a public health ethical perspective. It shows that in the field of T2DM, mHealth can on the one hand improve social health justice, but on the other hand can also exacerbate social health injustices. From a justice-focused, public health ethical perspective on T2DM mHealth, it is necessary to better understand whether and how vulnerable population groups are considered in mHealth development and implementation, how these groups experience the use of the technology, what social-epidemiological impacts the increasing use of mHealth can have, which health inequalities in the area of T2DM are unfair, to what extent personal responsibility should be placed in the hands of the users, and where the limits of personal responsibility lie. Considering social diversity and the social determinants of health is an ongoing process and must permeate all phases of mHealth development and implementation.
