The impact of health coaching on glycemic control among uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus patients: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Acta diabetologica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectivesHealth coaching is a potential approach to increase glycemic control by improving diabetes patients' lifestyles. Our study aims to evaluate the impact of health coaching on glycemic control and patients' lifestyle among uncontrolled diabetes patients in Indonesia.
methodsOur study involved 60 uncontrolled T2DM (type 2 diabetes mellitus) patients with HbA1c > 7.5% from two referral hospitals in Jakarta, Indonesia. The control group received T2DM treatment and 12 standardized diabetes education, while the intervention group received an additional 12 personal health coaching sessions. The primary outcome of this study was glycemic control, which was evaluated at baseline, 3rd month, and 6th months after the intervention. Secondary outcomes included diet and physical activities as lifestyle parameters.
resultsOur study showed fasting plasma glucose was significantly lower in the intervention group than in the control group (135.46 [38.61] mg/dL vs. 176.59 [62.45] mg/dL, p = 0.006). Moreover, 2-hours Post Prandial Glucose (2hPPG) was also significantly lower in the intervention group (141.42 [53.06] mg/dL vs. 242.11 [117.24] mg/dL, p < 0.001). HbA1c levels had lower values in the intervention group, although it was not significant (7.83% [2.18] vs. 8.87% [2.10], p = 0.054). No significant differences were observed for dietary control and physical activity.
conclusionsAt the six-month follow-up, the health coaching program significantly improved the participants' glycemic control (FPG and 2hPPG). In addition to current diabetes care standards, the health coaching method can raise patient awareness, encourage self-care, and improve their ideal glycemic levels.
