Improving diabetes management: structured clinic program for Canadian primary care.
Article in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
problem being addressedAdherence to diabetes treatment guidelines is often poor in primary care. OBJECTIVE OF PROGRAM: To introduce simple accessible interventions in our clinic to improve both physicians' adherence to diabetes treatment guidelines and patient outcomes. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: A physician and a nurse practitioner used 3 interventions for diabetes care: 30-minute appointments, reminder telephone calls to patients, and standardized flow sheets. Evaluation of this structured program found that, after 3 years, these interventions had improved primary caregivers' adherence to diabetes care guidelines and several physiologic parameters in patients with diabetes (compared with outcomes of patients managed with the usual less structured approach).
conclusionThis program improved delivery of diabetes care in our clinic. We believe a similar approach could help other physicians and nurse practitioners in primary care practices increase their adherence to guidelines and improve the clinical outcomes of their patients.
