Integrating telehealth technology into a clinical pharmacy telephonic diabetes management program.
Article in Journal of diabetes science and technology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundUse of home monitoring technologies can enhance care coordination and improve clinical outcomes in patients with diabetes and other chronic diseases. This study was designed to explore the feasibility of incorporating a telehealth system into an existing telephonic diabetes management program utilizing clinical pharmacists.
methodsThis observational study was conducted at three Providence Medical Group primary care clinics. Adults with a diagnosis of diabetes and a recent hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) >8% were referred by their primary care provider to participate in the study. Participants utilized the telehealth system developed by Intel Corporation and were followed by clinical pharmacists who provide telephonic diabetes management. The primary clinical outcome measure was change in mean HbA1c. Secondary outcomes included blood glucose levels, participant self-management knowledge, and the degree of participant engagement.
resultsMean HbA1c level decreased by 1.3% at the study end (p = .001). Based on participant satisfaction surveys and qualitative responses, participants were satisfied with the telehealth system. Mean blood glucose values decreased significantly over the 16-week study period from 178 mg/dl [standard deviation (SD) 67] at week 1 to 163 mg/dl (SD 64) at week 16 (p = .0002). Participants entered the study with moderate to good knowledge about managing their diabetes based on three questions, and no statistically significant improvement in knowledge was found post-study.
conclusionTelehealth technology can be a positive adjunct to the primary care team in managing diabetes or other chronic conditions to improve clinical outcomes.
