Improving Knowledge and Awareness of Diabetes-associated Skin Manifestations in a Resource Limited Setting: A Video Education Pilot Study.
Article in The Journal of clinical and aesthetic dermatology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: Although skin findings in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are common, many patients are unaware of these associations. A pilot study using an educational video was conducted to assess the effectiveness of a video-based tool in evaluating and enhancing the knowledge of patients with Type 2 diabetes about the cutaneous manifestations of their disease. Methods: An instructional video in English and Spanish highlighting DM-associated skin conditions was created. This included xerosis, diabetic dermopathy, acanthosis nigricans (AN), acrochordons, infections, hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), wound healing, and cancer incidence. A convenience cohort of patients with diabetes were included. Participants completed a 10-question survey to assess their knowledge of DM-associated skin conditions either after watching the instructional video or without viewing it. A history-based questionnaire was also administered. Results: Fourty-five participants were enrolled. Thirty participants viewed the video, and 15 controls did not prior to completing the knowledge survey. The average total score (69%) in participants who watched the video was significantly better than controls (49%). Fourty-two percent of participants reported no prior knowledge of DM-associated cutaneous effects. Greater than half of this cohort endorsed a history of xerosis, acrochordons, and diabetic dermopathy. More than 40 percent of participants affirmed having AN and infection of the skin or nails. Twenty-nine percent had a history of foot ulcers, and 13 percent had cellulitis in the past. Limitations: This was a pilot study with a small sample size, limiting generalizability. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of bilingual video education to enhance knowledge of DM-associated skin manifestations. Given the limited awareness of and high self-reported incidence of DM-associated cutaneous disorders, accessible educational resources like this video could help patients better recognize these entities and seek appropriate treatment.
