Group-based storytelling in disease self-management among people with diabetes.
Article in Chronic illness, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07625254 (Evaluation of Arts-Based Storytelling Program in Adolescents With Diabetes), which is not on this map. Cited by 16 papers.
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.

Abstract
objectiveWe explored the underlying mechanisms by which storytelling can promote disease self-management among people with type 2 diabetes.
methodsTwo, eight-session storytelling interventions were delivered to a total of eight adults with type 2 diabetes at a community health center in Toronto, Ontario. Each week, participants shared stories about diabetes self-management topics of their choice. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, transcripts from each session and focus groups conducted during and following the intervention were coded and analyzed using NVivo software. Through content analysis, we identified categories that describe processes and benefits of the intervention that may contribute to and support diabetes self-management.
resultsOur analysis suggests that storytelling facilitates knowledge exchange, collaborative learning, reflection, and making meaning of one's disease. These processes, in turn, could potentially build a sense of community that facilitates peer support, empowerment, and active engagement in disease self-management.
conclusionVenues that offer patients opportunities to speak of their illness management experiences are currently limited in our healthcare systems. In conjunction with traditional diabetes self-management education, storytelling can support several core aspects of diabetes self-management. Our findings could guide the design and/or evaluation of future story-based interventions.
