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

AIMS/

introductionThis systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. MATERIALS AND

methodsSeveral electronic databases were examined on 16 January 2021, including PubMed, CENTRAL, PsycINFO, International Clinical Trials Registry Platform and ClinicalTrials.gov. Randomized controlled trials were included to compare ACT with usual treatment for people with type 2 diabetes reported in any language. Primary outcome measures were glycated hemoglobin, self-care ability assessed by the summary of diabetes self-care activities and all adverse events. The secondary outcome measure was acceptance assessed by the acceptance and action diabetes questionnaire.

resultsOf 678 publications initially identified, three trials were included in the meta-analysis. ACT resulted in a reduction in glycated hemoglobin (mean difference -0.62 points lower in the intervention group; 95% confidence interval -1.07 to -0.16; I

conclusionsACT might reduce glycated hemoglobin, and increase self-care ability and acceptance among people with type 2 diabetes.
