Comparison of an online versus conventional multidisciplinary collaborative weight loss programme in type 2 diabetes mellitus: A randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in International journal of nursing practice, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimThe aim of this study was to examine the effect of an online multidisciplinary weight loss management programme.
methodsBetween July 2016 and July 2017 this randomized controlled trial recruited patients in Nanjing, China who were living with type 2 diabetes mellitus and who were obese or overweight and randomized them to online versus conventional groups. All participants were managed by a multidisciplinary team. The experimental group was managed using the Why Wait WeChat Platform for Weight Reduction Management.
resultsThere were 55 and 52 participants in the online and conventional groups, respectively. The decreases in fasting blood glucose (-4.26 vs. -2.99 mmol/L), 2-h postprandial blood glucose (-4.48 vs. -2.68 mmol/L) and glycated haemoglobin (-22.11 vs. -6.21 mmol/mol) were more pronounced in the online compared to conventional group (all P < 0.05). After the intervention, self-management ability parameters, including diet control, foot care and total score, were improved in the online group compared with the conventional group, as well as all indexes of quality of life (all P < 0.05).
conclusionThe online multidisciplinary weight loss management programme improved blood glucose in obese or overweight patients living with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Self-management ability parameters (including diet control, foot care and total score) and quality of life were improved in the online group compared with the conventional group.
