[Group versus individual education for type-2 diabetes patients].
Trial report in Atencion primaria, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 4 of them syntheses 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesTo compare the effectiveness of group (GE) and individual (IE) health education in type-2 diabetes patients, and identify the improvement in knowledge, metabolic control and risk factors.
designRandomised clinical trial.
settingPrimary care.Participants. 68 patients with type-2 diabetes, diagnosed 6 months before the start of the study and who had not received GE. Patients aged over 75, those with sensory, psychological and/or physical deficiencies and those not monitored in primary care were excluded (alpha=0.05; beta=0.2).Interventions. Patients were selected according to the inclusion criteria and allocated at random to the IE (n=33) or GE (n=35) group. Individual and group lessons were given at the same time for a year. The contents were evaluated with a validated, self-administered test. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: General, demographic variables, analyses, blood pressure, the Body Mass Index (BMI), the presence of cardiovascular risk factors, diabetes-related complications and therapeutic variables were all measured.
resultsThe two kinds of education showed no significant differences from each other. The two groups improved the level of knowledge (P<0.001), and reduced HbA1c (P<0.001), HDL-C (P<0.001), the BMI (P=0.001) and systolic pressure (P=0.004), and increased their use of reactive strips (P=0.02).
conclusionsHealth education on diabetes improved knowledge of the disease, metabolic control and cardiovascular risk factors. The two educational methods evaluated were equally effective.
