Integrating Undergraduate Patient Partners into Diabetes self-management education: Evaluating a free clinic pilot program for the Underserved.
Article in Journal of health care for the poor and underserved, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
backgroundDiabetes self-management education (DSME) improves glycemic control and health outcomes in patients with diabetes.
objectiveA process evaluation of a two-year pilot intervention examined the feasibility and acceptability of undergraduate volunteers as Patient Partners to foster DSME participation among the underserved.Design setting, and participants. In the setting of a student-run free clinic, 22 patients enrolled in DSME were paired with 16 undergraduate volunteers. During the DSME courses, Patient Partners assisted patients during classes, called patients weekly, and accompanied patients to clinic appointments.Key process evaluation results. Average attendance at DSME classes was 79.4% and 94.7% for patients and Patient Partners, respectively. Sixty-three percent of phone calls were successful and Patient Partners attended 50% of appointments with their patients. Focus groups demonstrated resounding acceptability of the Patient Partner role.
conclusionsVolunteer undergraduate Patient Partners are a beneficial adjunct to DSME delivery in the resource-constrained environment of a student-run free clinic.
