1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThis meta-analysis study aims to evaluate the Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) online application for reducing glycated hemoglobin levels among patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients. MAIN TEXT: The Web of Science (WoS), Cochrane Library, PubMed, Scopus, PROSPERO, and EMBASE databases were searched with Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms without minimum time limitation until February 2024. To be eligible, all the following predefined inclusion criteria must have been met in the original randomized controlled trial (RCT) studies without language limitation including T1DM, patients, online digital interventions such as web-based, mobile health applications, or e-health, 3 or more months follow-up, and measuring HbA1c. Finally, 10 studies were conducted, 1195 T1DM patients were included in this study of which 421 (35.2%) were adults and 774 (64.8%) were adolescents. Overall, the mean differences for HbA1c at 6 months between baseline and follow-up groups was 0.27% (-0.76, 1.31) (P < 0.001) in adultescents and 0.92% (0.34, 1.5) (P < 0.001) in adults. Moreover, the mean differences for HbA1c at 12 months between baseline and follow-up groups was - 0.02% (-0.31, 0.26) (P = 0.85) in adults.

conclusionsOnline DSME is effective in improving the glycemic control of adults and adultescents individuals with T1DM for reducing HbA1c while maintaining this important factor at an appropriate dose.
