The transformative power of mHealth apps: empowering patients with obesity and diabetes - a narrative review.
Synthesis in Journal of medicine and life, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The rising prevalence of obesity and diabetes underscores the need for innovative approaches to promote healthier lifestyles and improve clinical outcomes. Emerging evidence suggests that integrating mobile health (mHealth) technologies, such as smartphone applications and wearable devices, may provide a promising solution. mHealth interventions have the potential to enhance the delivery and accessibility of nutritional therapy and lifestyle modification programs for people with obesity and diabetes. This systematic review examines the available literature on the application and effectiveness of mHealth-based tools and technologies in managing these chronic conditions, offering insights into the current state of the field and opportunities for future research and clinical implementation. The review explores the diverse range of mHealth apps and devices utilized, their impact on weight loss, glycemic control, and other health-related outcomes, and the challenges and limitations associated with their use. This study highlights future directions and the growing importance of mHealth in the comprehensive management of obesity and diabetes to inform healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers about the potential of these innovative approaches to enhance patient care and improve population health.
