The short- and long-term effects of cognitive behavioral therapy on the glycemic control of diabetic patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in BioPsychoSocial medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundGlycemic control is an important issue in the treatment of diabetic patients. However, traditional methods, such as medication (the usual treatment), have limitations. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) might be a useful option to help control the glycemic condition. The effects can be revealed by systemic review or meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCT).
methodsA systematic search and a meta-analysis for the RCT were done of the short- and long-term effects of CBT on the glycemic control of diabetic patients in a comparison with the usual treatment. Nineteen RCT studies and 3,885 diabetic patients were enrolled in this meta-analysis. Subgroup analyses of types 1 and 2 diabetes and individual and group CBT were also performed.
resultsPatients treated with CBT showed no significant difference in HbA1c when compared to the usual treatment within six months. However, CBT was more effective in reducing HbA1c when compared to usual treatment with at least six months of treatment duration [standardized mean difference: -0.44 (95% confidence interval (CI): -0.63 ~ -0.25), Z = 4.49]. Subgroup analysis of type 1 and 2 diabetic patients supported a long-term effect of CBT on glycemic control [standardized mean difference: -0.85 (95% CI: -1.19 ~ -0.10), Z = 2.23, standardized mean difference: -0.33 (95% CI:-0.47 ~ -0.19), Z = 4.52, respectively].
conclusionsCBT would be a useful option for improving the glycemic control of diabetic patients undergoing long-term treatment. The advantages of the long-term effects of CBT should be considered by clinicians and staff.
