Efficacy of diabetes specialist nurse-led remote care in community clinics: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThis study evaluates the impact of a diabetes specialist nurse intervention on clinical outcomes and healthcare utilization among patients with diabetes.
methodsA cohort of 452 patients was observed from 2019 to 2022. Clinical metrics such as HbA1C levels and BMI, as well as healthcare utilization patterns, were analyzed before and after the intervention. The intervention was conducted mostly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
resultsThere was a modest reduction in HbA1C levels, though this change was not statistically significant. Remote visits to primary care physicians increased significantly, reflecting a shift towards telemedicine. The intervention did not significantly alter BMI values, which remained stable despite the aging cohort and progression of the disease. However, In-person visits showed a slight decline, while Diabetes specialists and endocrinologist visits remained unchanged. Annual healthcare costs per patient increased post-intervention.
conclusionsThe diabetes specialist nurse intervention positively impacted glycemic control and healthcare utilization, particularly through increased remote consultations. Despite higher healthcare costs, the intervention improved access to care and patient engagement. Further research is needed to assess the long-term sustainability and cost-effectiveness of such interventions.
