Clinical Improvements From Telemedicine Interventions for Managing Type 2 Diabetes Compared With Usual Care: Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis, and Meta-Regression.
Synthesis in JMIR mHealth and uHealth, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a prevalent chronic metabolic disorder that poses substantial challenges to global health care systems and patient management. Telemedicine, defined as the use of information and communication technologies to enhance health care delivery, has emerged as a potential tool to improve access to care and facilitate the management of T2DM.
objectiveThis systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of various telemedicine interventions compared with usual care in glycemic control, and cardiovascular health in adults with T2DM.
methodsA comprehensive literature search was conducted across databases such as PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published up to August 23, 2024. Eligible RCTs compared telemedicine interventions with usual care in adults with T2DM. The primary outcome assessed was hemoglobin A
resultsA total of 58 RCTs, encompassing 13,942 participants, were included in the analysis. Our findings showed that telemedicine interventions significantly improved HbA
conclusionsThis review highlights telemedicine's superior effectiveness over usual care in improving HbA
