Community Health Workers Supporting Clinical Pharmacists in Diabetes Management: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Pharmacotherapy, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01498159 (Health Promoters and Pharmacists in Diabetes Team Management), which is not on this map. Cited by 17 papers, 2 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

Abstract
objectivesTo evaluate the effectiveness of clinical pharmacists and community health workers (CHWs) in improving glycemic control within a low-income ethnic minority population.
methodsIn a two-arm 2-year crossover trial, 179 African-American and 65 Hispanic adult patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (hemoglobin A
resultsSimilar HbA1C declines were noted after receiving the 1 year of CHW support: -0.45% (95% confidence interval [CI] -0.96 to 0.05) with CHW versus -0.42% (95% CI -0.93 to 0.08) without CHW support. In addition, no differences were noted in change on secondary outcome measures including body mass index, systolic blood pressure, high-density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, quality of life, and perceived social support. A difference in diastolic blood pressure change was noted: 0.80 mm Hg (95% CI -1.92 to 3.53) with CHW versus -1.85 mm Hg (95% CI -4.74 to 1.03) without CHW support (p=0.0078). Patients receiving CHW support had more lipid-lowering medication intensifications (0.39 [95% CI 0.27-0.52]) compared with those without CHW support (0.26 [95% CI 0.14-0.38], p<0.0001). However, no significant differences in intensification of antihyperglycemic and antihypertensive medications were observed between patients receiving CHW support and those without CHW support. Patients with low health literacy completed significantly more encounters with the pharmacist and CHW than those with high health literacy, although outcomes were comparable.
conclusionsNo significant differences were noted between a clinical pharmacist-CHW team and clinical pharmacist alone in improving glycemic control within a low-income ethnic minority population.
