Effectiveness of A Culturally Adapted Family Model of Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support among Marshallese Pacific Islanders Delivered in a Group Format in Churches.
Article in Journal of health care for the poor and underserved, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionDiabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) is effective for reducing health complications among people with type 2 diabetes (PWD). However, standard DSMES interventions have not been effective for Marshallese Pacific Islanders.
methodsA culturally adapted Family-DSMES intervention for Marshallese PWD was implemented in churches in Hawaii and Washington state and delivered by Marshal-lese community health workers. We assessed changes in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), body mass index (BMI), and blood pressure from pre-to post-intervention (12 weeks).
resultsOne hundred eighty-five (185) participants-99 PWD and 86 family members-completed classes and had valid pre-and post-intervention HbA1c data. For PWD, there were significant decreases in HbA1c (-0.69%; p=.0000) and BMI (-0.38; p=.008). DISCUSSION: The clinically and statistically significant reduction in HbA1c among PWD adds evidence for the effectiveness of family models of DSMES. Results will be used to inform future interventions and research studies with Marshallese and other Pacific Islander communities.
