Cluster-randomized trial to improve the quality of diabetes management: The study for the efficacy assessment of the standard diabetes manual (SEAS-DM).
Trial report in Journal of diabetes investigation, 2016. 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
AIMS/
introduction'The Standard Diabetes Manual' has been developed by clinical researchers from multiple major institutions in Japan, such as the National Center for Global Health and Medicine, as a comprehensive disease management program, including collaboration between primary care physicians (PCPs) and specialist services. The present study evaluated the efficacy of the manual as a quality improvement strategy in diabetes care by PCPs. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 42 PCPs in eight domestic districts of the Japan Medical Association were allocated to either the intervention group or the control group in a cluster-randomized design. The PCPs in both groups were provided with a copy of the Diabetes Treatment Guide published by the Japan Diabetes Society, and the PCPs in the intervention group additionally received a copy of the manual and a 30-min relevant seminar at the inception of the intervention. The primary end-point was the adherence to the following performances as quality indicators: evaluation of retinopathy, and urinary albumin excretion measurements and serum creatinine measurements, as recommended by the Japan Medical Association.
resultsA total of 416 patients were enrolled by 36 PCPs. During the 1-year follow-up period, the proportion of PCPs who adhered to recommendation-concordant measurements of urinary albumin excretion was significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group (adherence: 17.9% vs 5.3%, P = 0.016). The other parameters were not statistically different between the two groups.
conclusionsImplementation of 'The Standard Diabetes Manual' potentially leads to an improved quality of diabetes management by PCPs.
