Exploring factors impacting Hispanic/Latinx individuals' response to a type 2 diabetes digital storytelling intervention.
Article in PloS one, 2025. 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
backgroundHispanic/Latinx individuals have high prevalence of type 2 diabetes and its complications yet often face barriers in accessing diabetes prevention and self-management interventions. One possible approach is to implement digital storytelling interventions, which involve narrative-driven videos made by individuals who have lived experience with particular conditions or illnesses. These stories can inspire viewers with similar life experiences to change behaviors or attitudes. Little is known about which characteristics influence how individuals respond to digital storytelling interventions with healthful behaviors and improved outcomes - information necessary to further tailor these interventions to improve type 2 diabetes outcomes. Previously, the Rochester Healthy Community Partnership used the digital storytelling process to develop Stories for Change Diabetes and tested intervention effectiveness.
methodsWe conducted a secondary analysis to examine the sociodemographic and disease-related factors that affected participants' responses to the Stories for Change Diabetes intervention. Drawing on Social Cognitive Theory and Culture-Centric Health Promotion principles, we analyzed results from the 227 intervention participants stratified by whether they experienced a clinically meaningful decrease (>0.5%) in hemoglobin A1c between baseline and three-month follow-up. We then used multivariable logistic regressions to identify factors associated with change in hemoglobin A1c.
resultsParticipants with diabetes duration <5 years and/or whose diabetes self-efficacy improved between baseline and 3-month follow-up were more likely to experience a meaningful decrease in hemoglobin A1c at three months (compared to participants without those characteristics).
conclusionsThese findings will provide insight into how digital storytelling interventions can be effectively tailored to Hispanic/Latinx individuals most likely to benefit. Trial registration: Not applicable.
