Review in Journal of diabetes science and technology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe objective of this study was to assess published literature on computerized prompting and feedback of diabetes care as well as to identify opportunities to strengthen diabetes care processes.

methodsMedline (1970-2008), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (1982-2008), and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (4th quarter 2008) were searched, and reference lists from included articles were reviewed to identify additional studies. Patient sample, clinician sample, setting, duration of the trial, intervention description, control description, and results were abstracted from each study.

resultsFifteen trials were included in this review. The following elements were observed in the interventions: general prompt for a particular patient to be seen for diabetes-related follow-up (5 studies), specific prompt reminding clinicians of particular tests or procedures related to diabetes (13 studies), feedback to clinicians in addition to prompting (5 studies), and patient reminders in addition to clinician prompts (5 studies). Twelve of the 15 studies (80%) measured a significant process or outcome from the intervention.

conclusionsThe majority of trials identified at least one process or outcome that was significantly better in the intervention group than in the control group; however, the success of the information interventions varied greatly. Providing and receiving appropriate care is the first step toward better outcomes in chronic disease management.
