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

introductionThis study was designed to investigate the effectiveness of a video-based lifestyle education program (VBLEP) in improving glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus compared with usual care.

methodsPatients on stable oral glucose-lowering agents for at least 3 months and HbA1c 7.5-10% were randomized in a 1:1 ratio. Primary outcome measure was the difference in change in mean HbA1c between groups.

resultsThe participants (n = 81) had mean (± SD) age of 50.1 (± 9.4) years and HbA1c of 8.5 ± 0.7% (68.87 ± 7.56 mmol/mol). The follow-up data were available in 96% (78/81) of participants. Of 40 participants, 36 (90%) attended ≥ 75% (≥ 3 out of 4) of the sessions in the VBLEP. In the intention-to-treat analysis, a significant reduction [0.6% 95% CI (0.1, 1.1), p = 0.013] in HbA1c was seen in the VBLEP group compared with usual care. A ≥ 1% reduction in HbA1c was observed in 39.5% of participants in the VBLEP compared with 15% in the usual care arm. However, a ≥ 0.5% reduction in HbA1c was observed in 65.8% of participants in the VBLEP compared with 37.5% in the usual care arm (p = 0.012). There was a significant change in weight and body mass index in the VBLEP group compared with usual care. The participants who were employed, had a family history of diabetes, had no diabetes-related complications, and were in the VBLEP group had higher odds of having a favorable HbA1c reduction (≥ 0.5%, combined analysis both groups) from baseline.

conclusionThe VBLEP demonstrated a significant and clinically relevant HbA1c reduction compared with usual care. A simple VBLEP, when delivered in an interactive manner, can aid in improving glycemic outcomes in the Indian population.
