Insights on Improving Health Insurance Literacy in Diabetes.
Review in The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
contextMany adults with diabetes cannot afford medications or health care and have low health insurance literacy, resulting in psychological distress and barriers to optimal self-management.
objectiveThis mini-review aimed to explore the effectiveness of health-insurance literacy interventions and provide recommendations for diabetes practice.
methodsWe conducted a thorough search of relevant PubMed and Scopus studies from 2014 to 2024. Our inclusion criteria were interventions or pilot intervention studies using the search terms "health insurance" OR "health insurance literacy" OR "population (oncology, young adults/college/university students, and adults)." We then meticulously analyzed the quality of these studies, and assessments were conducted in Excel. We synthesized the evidence on interventions used to support health-insurance literacy across chronic health conditions and the general population, and their applications to diabetes care. Our findings showed effective interventions address a population's specific learning needs and literacy level. Multiple/diverse methods were used, including web-based decision aids, virtual sessions, hands-on support from navigators, Serious Games, educational workshops, and online microvideo Toolkits. Critical gaps included defining and measuring health-care literacy.
conclusionSolutions for health-insurance education include strategies to incorporate education into academic curricula, diabetes transition programs, community health fairs, and employing community health workers within health-care systems. Although there is a validated health insurance literacy measure, consistent use of this measure across future programs can further the critically needed science in this field.
