Effectiveness of patient-centred care in self-management of type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in BMC health services research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveTo assess the effectiveness of community-home patient-centred care (PCC) in the self-management of type 2 diabetes using a systematic evaluation approach.
methodsThis systematic review and meta-analysis adhered to the PRISMA 2020 guideline. The PubMed, Excerpta Medica Database, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Chinese Periodicals Full Text Database, CQVIP Chinese Journals Platform and Wanfang databases were searched between database inception and February 2025, with no language limit, using keywords related to type 2 diabetes, PCC and self-management. References of the included studies were reviewed, and citation tracking was used. Eligible studies were English or Chinese peer-reviewed randomised controlled trials (RCTs) involving patients with type 2 diabetes, with PCC applied in the trial group and routine care in the control group, focusing on self-management outcomes. Two reviewers independently screened and extracted data, resolving disagreements through a third reviewer. The Cochrane risk assessment tool was used to assess study quality, with Review Manager 5.3 software used to analyse data using mean difference (MD) and 95%CI via a random-effects model. Heterogeneity was tested, and sensitivity analysis and funnel plots were also used.
resultsA total of 18 RCTs were included, including 6 Chinese and 12 English studies, with 1,893 patients with type 2 diabetes followed up in this study. Following intervention for at least 6 months, compared with routine treatment, PCC reduced fasting blood glucose (FBG) (MD = - 1.27, 95%CI: [- 2.19, - 0.74], I
conclusionCompared with routine nursing, community-home PCC nursing can reduce the levels of FBG, 2-hour plasma glucose (2hPG) and glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in patients with type 2 diabetes. A unified PCC protocol could help patients with diabetes control the disease.
