Evaluation of the effectiveness regarding the participation of pharmacists in perioperative blood glucose management via the iGMS: a pilot RCT.
Article in Diabetology & metabolic syndrome, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundExcellent blood glucose management is a key guarantee for successful progress of surgery. However, the impact of clinical pharmacists on blood glucose management of perioperative patients needs to be further investigated. To investigate the effectiveness regarding the participation of pharmacists in blood glucose management via the informatized glucose management system (iGMS) on perioperative patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
methodsThe working mode of clinical pharmacists participating in blood glucose management of perioperative patients with diabetes was constructed. A total of 300 patients with T2DM who underwent elective surgery were recruited and divided into a clinical pharmacist management group (intervention group) of 150 patients (94 men and 56 women; mean age: 44.38 ± 14.03 years) and a control group of 150 patients (101 men and 49 women; mean age: 47.85 ± 12.26 years) between September 2019 to April 2020. The outcomes of perioperative blood glucose management, and healthcare indicators such as preoperative waiting time, total hospitalization time, postoperative infection rate and other indicators were analyzed statistically between the two groups.
resultIn the blood glucose management team of the whole hospital, the physicians, clinical pharmacists and nurses of blood glucose management in endocrinology department were the core members, and were responsible for perioperative blood glucose management of the participants in the intervention group. All subjects had lower blood glucose after 3 days of management compared to the time of admission, and blood glucose was significantly lower in the intervention group compared to the control group (P < 0.05). As compared with the control group, subjects in intervention group demonstrated significant differences in outcome measures. The relevant parameters included preoperative blood glucose compliance rate (60.67% vs. 35.33%, P<0.05), preoperative waiting time [(5.27 ± 3.34) vs. (7.45 ± 4.38), P<0.05], length of hospitalization [(11.11 ± 4.56) vs. (14.87 ± 5.39), P<0.05], incidence of hypoglycemia (8.67% vs. 18.00%, P<0.05), incidence of hyperglycemia (32.00% vs. 62.67%, P<0.05) and postoperative infection rate (18.00% vs. 24.67%, P > 0.05).
conclusionThe involvement of clinical pharmacists in blood glucose management utilizing the iGMS can control the blood glucose level of patients with T2DM in the perioperative period more stably and effectively, thereby leading to an improvement in the quality of healthcare.
