A new model for optimization of diabetes clinics with the case study in Iran.
Article in Journal of diabetes and metabolic disorders, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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.
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
Objective: This study presented a new model for optimal assignment of human resources to 3-level defined clinics to improve the management of diabetes. Methods: First, the data of population and prevalence of diabetes and data about complications were gathered. Then, the number of needed visits was calculated for different classes of diabetic people using guidelines. On the supply side, the maximum number of available visits for a given year by a given specialty was calculated. Two scenarios were considered. The first scenario calculated the number of needed specialties to cover the guideline needs, while the second real-world scenario used human resource data to optimize the assignment of human resources to different levels of clinics. Results: The highest and lowest required specialties per year are 2780 General practitioners (GPs) and 492 gastroenterologists. Seven hundred forty-one endocrinologists or internists are required each year to cover all the needs. The highest and lowest number of the available specialties were 4967 GPs and 35 nutritionists. 81% of cities can cover basic services, while even the lowest level of coverage is not possible in 19% of districts. Conclusions: The present study's findings advise the policymakers to train human resources based on available evidence and distribute the human resources based on an evidence-based model. This could be achieved using the private section resources. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40200-021-00939-4.
