1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundSocial and behavioral factors have important direct and indirect effects on chronic disease onset and progression. The U.S. health care system is beginning to focus on assessment and management of social and behavioral problems through federal mandates related to meaningful use of electronic health records and improved patient outcomes.

methodsWe examined the clinical adoption of a 20-item screening tool to measure social distress focusing on type 2 diabetes. This Internet-based survey tool was embedded within a diabetes team care dashboard used to manage Latino patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes (

resultsResults showed a high baseline prevalence of many of the 20 social distress issues assessed. The control group had a mean 6.8 ± 4.3 items at baseline and 6.2 ± 4.3 items at 6 months; the intervention group had a mean 7.2 ± 4.5 items at baseline and 5.6 ± 4.6 items at 6 months. The majority of participants (>90%) reported having one or more social distress issues during the previous week. Moreover, 11 of 20 social distress items were identified by ≥30% of patients as being present. However, social distress was significantly reduced from our intervention based on a culturally sensitive team model focused on actively managing social distress issues compared to usual diabetes team care (

conclusionSocial distress issues are common but were significantly reduced with a 6-month diabetes team intervention involving initial screening followed by tailored diabetes education and referral to existing local services.
