Integrating Medical-Dental Care for Diabetic Patients: Qualitative Assessment of Provider Perspectives.
Article in Health promotion practice, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Globally, periodontal disease and diabetes have achieved epidemic proportions and have become a top health care priority. Mutual bidirectional exacerbation of these conditions is promoting creation of cross-disciplinary integrated care delivery (ICD) models that bridge the traditionally siloed health care domains of dentistry and medicine. By engaging focus groups inclusive of both medical and dental providers and one-on-one interviews, this qualitative study investigated provider knowledgeability, receptiveness, and readiness to engage ICD and sought input from the medical-dental primary care practitioner participants on perceived opportunities, benefits, and challenges to achieving ICD models for patients with diabetes/prediabetes. Statewide regional representation and inclusivity of diverse practice settings were emphasized in soliciting participants. Thematic analysis of focus group and interview transcripts was undertaken to establish current state of the art, gauge receptivity to alternative ICD models, and seek insights from practitioners surrounding opportunities and barriers to ICD achievement. Forty providers participated, and thematic analyses achieved saturation. Providers were well informed regarding disease interaction; were receptive to ICD, including implementation of better screening and referral processes; and favored improving interdisciplinary communication inclusive of access to integrated electronic health records. Perceived barriers and opportunities communicated by participants for advancing ICD were documented.
