Improving Prediabetes Screenings at Rural Missouri County Health Departments.
Article in Journal of community health, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
With prediabetes criteria expanding in recent years, nurses offering prediabetes screenings require updates to stay abreast of current clinical guidelines. This study looked to improve rural Missouri health department nurses' understanding of prediabetes, improve the identification of prediabetes at participating health departments, and educate the nurses on existing prediabetes guidelines. A convenience sample of twenty-two nurses from seven rural Missouri health departments participated. Nurses completed a demographic questionnaire and a prediabetes knowledge pre-test prior to the intervention. Seven to eight weeks post-intervention, the health department nurses completed the prediabetes post-tests. A single live education session was conducted at each health department. Data from the pre- and post-tests was reviewed within three result categories. The overall, laboratory nursing knowledge, and general nursing knowledge divisions each showed statistically significant improvement with a p < 0.05. This study's post-test improvement in prediabetes knowledge replicates the usefulness of a simple, low cost educational update. Nurses improved the identification of prediabetes laboratory values on post-test data and showed an increase in overall prediabetes knowledge. A single and simple continuing education program is a useful tool for rural health nurses.
