Trial report 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. It is linked to trial NCT06850129 (Efficacy of a Digital Educational Intervention in Patients With Type 2 Diabe-tes Mellitus.

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.

Abstract

backgroundAdherence to therapies and metabolic control among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remain challenging. The use of new technologies, such as telemedicine, digitalized systems, and social networks, could improve self-management and disease control.

objectiveWe evaluated the efficacy of a digital educational intervention for patients with T2DM, expressed as changes in glycated hemoglobin (HbA

methodsThis multicenter, randomized, prospective study included adults with T2DM with poor metabolic control who started treatment with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists. Patients were randomized to digital intervention or usual care. The intervention group received education through social networks and digital tools in a structured program of healthy lifestyle changes. This was provided by a "Digital Coach" for weekly and on-demand advice and individualized support. Baseline and follow-up demographic, clinical parameter, adherence, and quality of life data were collected.

resultsWe included 85 patients (control: n=41; intervention: n=44). Both groups were matched regarding demographics, physical examination, insulin, and biochemical parameters. We observed a reduction in body weight (intervention: -8.7, SD 6.1 kg vs control: -4.9, SD 5.0 kg; t

conclusionsThe digital educational intervention was effective at improving glycemic control, body composition, adherence, and patient satisfaction compared with usual care in patients with T2DM. The implementation of digital tools and social media could highly improve the multidisciplinary approach to the management of this population.
