1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 evaluate the "What Can I Eat?": Healthy Choices for American Indian and Alaska Native Adults With Type 2 Diabetes (AI/AN WCIE) intervention.

designPilot randomized waitlist-controlled trial. Recruitment through diabetes registries and randomized to either the immediate intervention (n = 35) or waitlist control group (n = 25). Immediate arm started classes immediately on randomization; waitlist arm started classes 3 months after randomization.

settingClasses were taught synchronously online by registered dietitian nutritionists at 5 reservation-based or urban intertribal clinical sites nationwide in 2021.

participantsAmerican Indian and Alaska Native adults with type 2 diabetes (n = 60).

interventionTopics in AI/AN WCIE classes include: the Diabetes Plate, sugar-sweetened beverages, decreasing sodium, increasing consumption of healthful traditional Native foods. Class activities included didactic sessions, hands-on interactive learning, physical activity, mindful eating, and goal setting.

main outcome measureDiabetes nutrition self-efficacy, behavior, and clinical measures. ANALYSIS: Linear mixed models examined change in outcomes from baseline to 1 month and 3 months by randomization group. By 3 months, immediate intervention participants had completed the classes; the waitlist control group had not yet begun the intervention.

resultsAfter 3 months, confidence in using the Diabetes Plate (β = 0.80 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.56-1.03], P < 0.001) and healthy nutrition behavior (β = 0.88 [95% CI, 0.57-1.19], P = 0.004) improved significantly in the immediate intervention group but not in the waitlist control group; confidence in making healthy nutrition choices (β = 0.65 [95% CI, 0.43-0.88], P = 0.02) improved significantly more in the immediate intervention group than in the waitlist control group. No significant changes were identified in clinical outcomes.

conclusionsThe AI/AN WCIE program enhanced self-efficacy and healthful nutrition choices among adults with type 2 diabetes.
