An AI-Assisted Tool to Predict Continuous Glucose Monitor Adherence in Children With Type 1 Diabetes in Oman: Protocol for a Multiphase Mixed Methods Translational Study.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 2026. 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
backgroundType 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in children requires sustained self-management to achieve glycemic targets. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has transformed pediatric diabetes care; yet, adherence to device wear remains inconsistent. In May 2024, Oman launched a national initiative distributing CGMs to children with T1DM across all governorates, creating a real-world opportunity to study adherence determinants and to develop a locally validated AI-assisted predictive tool.
objectiveThis multiphase translational research project aims to (1) characterize the population of Omani children with T1DM; (2) identify demographic, psychosocial, dietary, and physical activity correlates of optimal CGM use; (3) develop, train, and validate an AI-assisted behavioral predictive tool "OMNIdiasense" to forecast CGM adherence prior to device dispensing; and (4) pilot test the OMNIdiasense tool.
methodsThree sequential, interlinked substudies will be conducted. Substudy 1 is a retrospective cohort analysis of routinely collected Al Shifa data for all children who received CGMs between July 2024 and February 2025, with glycemic, anthropometric, and laboratory outcomes compared at baseline and at ≥3 months. Outputs on adherence prevalence, and clinical predictors become the structured input layer for the proposed AI model. Substudy 2 is a cross-sectional, mixed methods study using face-to-face structured interviews with a randomly selected sample of children aged 10-18 years, classified as "CGM optimizers" (≥6 days/week) or "CGM subusers" (<6 days/week or discontinued); responses across validated behavioral, stress, and dietary instruments are compared. Outputs are the psychosocial and behavioral feature set, qualitative themes, and effect sizes that drive feature selection for the AI model. Substudy 3 develops the AI tool (OMNIdiasense), comprising (1) a quasi-experimental single-arm pilot among 100 existing CGM subusers and (2) a parallel pilot randomized controlled trial (n=50; 25 intervention, 25 control) among newly diagnosed children, with assessments at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months. The primary outcome is between-group difference in CGM adherence; secondary outcomes include hemoglobin A
resultsThe proposed AI tool is intended as a decision-support adjunct and not a gatekeeping mechanism for CGM access.
conclusionsTo our knowledge, OMNIdiasense is the first AI tool in the Gulf Cooperation Council region to predict pediatric CGM adherence. By targeting behaviorally vulnerable patients before sensor distribution, OMNIdiasense is expected to support clinical benefit and reduce financial waste.
