Article in Nursing open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
aimTo explore the implementation of lifestyle counselling in secondary type 2 diabetes mellitus care from the perspective of diabetes nurses.
designAn exploratory qualitative study.
methodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted with diabetes nurses in a hospital setting. Data were analysed through inductive thematic analysis by two independent coders.
resultsThe findings are structured around two main categories: the current role of lifestyle in consultations and nurses' perspectives on the future of lifestyle counselling. Diabetes nurses consider lifestyle an essential component of care but face numerous barriers to discussing it effectively. Key challenges include limited expertise, a lack of practical guidelines, time constraints, patient motivation, and the patient-provider relationship. Nurses prioritise raising awareness, educating, and providing brief personalised advice, while comprehensive lifestyle coaching is beyond their scope. They emphasise the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration to ensure a holistic approach that incorporates multiple lifestyle factors and individual circumstances. Nurses also recognise the potential of eHealth, anti-obesity medication, and novel insulin pumps to support lifestyle changes.
conclusionsLifestyle counselling is complex and influenced by various factors. Efforts should focus on specialised training, actionable guidelines, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Advances in medicine and technology offer additional opportunities to enhance patient support. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: The role of diabetes nurses should focus on raising awareness, providing education, and offering brief, personalised lifestyle advice. Nurses need the knowledge and skills to identify lifestyle needs and receive an overview of appropriate referral options. IMPACT: Training programmes should be developed to enhance nurses' competence and confidence in providing lifestyle guidance. Interdisciplinary collaboration must be strengthened both within hospitals and at the regional level. Policymakers should develop practical guidelines encompassing all lifestyle dimensions and providing clear referral pathways to specialised professionals and interventions. REPORTING
