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

backgroundThe aim of the study was to investigate whether simulation education (SE) and case management had any effect on glycemic control in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients.

methodsIn this single center pilot trial, 100 T2DM patients who received medication and basic diabetes self-management education (DSME) were randomly divided into a control group (n = 50) and an experimental group (n = 50), who received SE and a case management program. Evaluation of biochemical indices was conducted at baseline and after 6 months. DSME consisted of 2-hour group trainings weekly for 2 consecutive weeks followed by 2 × 30 minute education sessions after 3 and 6 months. The SE program comprised additional 50-minute video sessions 3 times in the first week and twice in the second week. The experimental group was supervised by a nurse case manager, who followed up participants at least once a month, and who conducted group sessions once every 3 months, focusing on realistic aspects of physical activity and nutrition, with open discussions about setting goals and strategies to overcome barriers.

resultsAfter 6 months, HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose, and postprandial blood glucose level improvements were superior in the experimental group compared with the control group (P < 0.05). Self-care behavior adherence scores of healthy diet (P = 0.001), physical activity (P = 0.043), self-monitoring of blood glucose (P < 0.001), and reducing risks (P < 0.001) were significantly increased in the experimental group compared with the control group.

conclusionsSimulation education and case management added to routine DSME effectively improved glycemic control in T2DM patients.
