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

backgroundClinicians strive to deliver individualized, patient-centered care. However, these intentions are understudied. This research explores how patient characteristics associated with an high risk-to-benefit ratio with hypoglycemia medications affect decision making by primary care clinicians.

methodsUsing a vignette-based survey, we queried primary care clinicians on their intended management of geriatric patients with diabetes. The patients' ages, disease durations, and comorbidities were systematically varied. Clinicians indicated whether they would intensify glycemic control by adding a second-line hypoglycemia medication.

resultsA convenience sample of 336 primary care clinicians completed the survey. Despite the recommendations for HbA

conclusionsPrimary care clinicians often chose to intensify glycemic control despite individual patient factors that warrant higher glycemic targets based on existing guidelines. This research identifies possible missed opportunities for patient-centered goal setting and raises questions about the influence of training and practice environment on clinical decision making.
