Effectiveness of Digital Diabetes Management Technology on Blood Glucose in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes at Home: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of medical Internet research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundPatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) face elevated morbidity, mortality, and care costs. Digital self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) can automatically upload data to apps, share the data with health care providers, reduce errors, and aid long-term diabetes management.
objectiveThis study aimed to assess the effectiveness of digital diabetes management techniques based on digital SMBG on blood glucose in patients with T2DM at home.
methodsA systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, China Biomedical Literature Database, and Cochrane Library for articles published from the establishment of each database to December 25, 2023. Data were extracted independently by 2 researchers (YX and NX), and the risk of bias in individual trials was rated using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. A meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.3 (Cochrane).
resultsTwelve studies were included, involving 1669 participants. The meta-analysis found that in the digital diabetes management group, hemoglobin A
conclusionsDigital diabetes management has been shown to effectively improve blood glucose levels and BMI in individuals with T2DM in home settings. A key feature of successful digital health interventions is the frequent SMBG by patients, supported by dedicated health care professionals who provide timely, personalized, and responsive guidance.
