Kenyan adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) increase diabetic knowledge and self-efficacy and decrease hemoglobina1c levels post-educational program.

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
Introduction: Literature supports the relationship between increased diabetic knowledge and improved health outcomes among individuals with Type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In Kenya, knowledge gaps within the at-risk population still exist about the symptoms, complications, and management strategies of T2DM, making it challenging to achieve the required personal and community health levels. The project's objective was to determine whether a structured educational intervention for patients in Eldoret, Kenya, would increase diabetic knowledge and self-efficacy and reduce HbA1c levels. Method: We utilized an experimental study with a convenience sample of 143 participants systematically grouped into control and experimental. The experimental group only received a structured educational intervention based on the health belief model. Pre- and post-intervention data for diabetic knowledge, self-efficacy, and HbA1c were analyzed using the independent T and ANOVA tests. Results: We observed significant between-group differences for diabetic knowledge (t (116) = 7.22, p<0.001), self-efficacy t (96)=5.323, p<0.001; and HbA1c level t (121) =-2.87, p =.003. We also observed significant within-group differences for diabetic knowledge, t (12.6), p<0.001); self-efficacy t (5.32), p<.001); and HbA1c, t (4.4), p<0.001, in the experimental group only. Conclusions: This study reveals the effect of a structured education intervention in increasing diabetic knowledge and self-efficacy while reducing HbA1c levels in T2DM patients in Eldoret, Kenya.
