Plain-language summary

What this paper says

A plain-language read of the study’s main message and where it applies.

Study focus

This study evaluated a remote chronic disease management program for cardiometabolic disease in low- and middle-income countries, comparing it to usual care.

Clinical relevance

Understanding the effectiveness of remote management programs is crucial, especially in low- and middle-income countries where healthcare resources may be limited. This study's findings can inform future healthcare strategies and resource allocation for managing cardiometabolic diseases.

Keep in mind

Effectiveness data were unclear across all measured outcomes. The study may have limited generalizability to other populations. Potential unmeasured confounders could influence results.
