Effectiveness of diabetes little helper video intervention on medication adherence among elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Henan, China: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionIn the management of medication adherence in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), traditional methods such as verbal guidance and written materials may have certain limitations. Therefore, the development of digital intervention measures may play a key role in addressing these shortcomings. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of Diabetes Little Helper (DLH) video intervention in improving medication adherence among elderly patients with T2DM in Henan province, China. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A parallel cluster randomised controlled trial will be applied in the current study. The two hospitals will be randomly divided into a control group and an intervention group, with 68 patients in each arm. Both groups will receive standard care, meanwhile the intervention group will receive an additional DLH video intervention. Data collection is planned at baseline, 1 month after intervention and at 3-month follow-up. Once the study is completed, the control group will also receive the similar video as in the intervention arm to uphold the ethical issues. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study has obtained ethical approval from the Institutional Review Board of University Putra Malaysia (JKEUPM-2023-1279) and Henan Provincial People's Hospital (20240107). The research results will also be submitted for publication in peer-reviewed journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, ChiCTR2400083282.
