The Impact of Mobile Health Literacy, Socioeconomic Factors, and Engagement Patterns on DiabetesXcel App Usage in Adults.
Article in Journal of diabetes and metabolic disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Purpose: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) poses a growing public health burden, particularly among underserved populations. Mobile health (mHealth) apps offer a promising solution for improving self-management of T2DM, yet user engagement remains inconsistent across demographic and socioeconomic groups. This study aims to investigate the association between mobile health literacy, socioeconomic factors (including the Area Deprivation Index, ADI), and user engagement in the DiabetesXcel app, a digital diabetes management tool. Methods: A post-hoc analysis was conducted using data from 46 participants, and the analysis assessed app usage, clinical outcomes, and user characteristics. App engagement was measured by logins and in-app questions answered at four and six months. Results: Early users had significantly lower LDL levels after six months compared to sustained users ( Conclusions: Disparities in socioeconomic status and digital literacy may influence sustained engagement with mHealth tools. Tailoring mHealth interventions to address disparities in engagement may improve long-term self-management behaviors in diverse patient populations.
