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

aimTo evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of integrative technologies employed in nursing-led interventions for the management of diabetes.

backgroundWith the global rise in diabetes prevalence, there is growing interest in digital health solutions to improve disease self-management. Nurses are increasingly leveraging technologies, such as mobile applications, wearable devices, and telehealth platforms, to support individuals with diabetes. However, the effectiveness and implementation outcomes of such nursing-led digital interventions remain variably reported in the literature.

methodsA systematic review was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Comprehensive five database searches (PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase) identified randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from 2013 to 2024. Studies were included if they involved nurse-led interventions incorporating digital technologies for diabetes management. Data were synthesized using narrative and thematic analysis. Risk of bias was assessed using the RoB 2 tool.

resultsThirteen RCTs involving diverse technologies demonstrated improvements in glycemic control (HbA1c reduction), self-management behaviors, and quality of life. Interventions incorporating personalized coaching, regular follow-up, and patient-centered feedback were particularly effective. Most studies were rated as low risk of bias, though some showed concerns regarding reporting practices and intervention fidelity.

conclusionNursing-led digital health interventions can significantly enhance diabetes care outcomes. Their success is contingent upon sustained patient engagement, nurse training, and organizational support. Broader implementation requires addressing digital literacy and system-level integration challenges. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Nurse-led technologies should be embedded in care models to support scalable, personalized, and effective diabetes self-management across diverse settings. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
