Diabetes control improved when inner-city patients received graphic feedback about glycosylated hemoglobin levels.
Trial report in Journal of general internal medicine, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00204282 (The Effectiveness of Nurse Practitioner Led Group Visits in Improving Compliance With Diabetic Preventative Services and Modifying Vascular Risk), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
objectiveTo develop and test an inexpensive visual tool to help patients with diabetes improve glycemic control.
methodsA multidisciplinary team developed a 1-page form, the "Take-home Diabetes Record" (THDR), providing feedback to patients by displaying per cent glycosylated hemoglobin (GHb) values graphically over time, with target levels highlighted. Patients with type 2 diabetes in an inner-city clinic were randomized to THDR use (n = 57) or not (n = 70) over 15 months. Self-care activities were discussed, linked with GHb results, and charted at each clinic visit. Initial and final GHb were compared.
resultsMean GHb fell significantly in THDR patients (-0.94, P =.003), but not in control patients (-0.18, P =.36). Mean GHb decrease was greater in THDR patients (P =.047). A greater proportion of THDR patients (51%) than control patients (18%) achieved a decrease in GHb >/=0.9 (P =.001).
conclusionsA graph linking GHb and self-care activities shows promise for improving glycemic control.
