Effectiveness of a Structured 2-Year Diabetes Health Education Program of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Disease-Related Serum Markers.
Article in Diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity : targets and therapy, 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
Introduction: Previous studies on the impact of diabetes education on disease management have shown that different educational approaches yield varying degrees of effectiveness across different populations. Adopting face-to-face education with long-term follow-up not only allows for monitoring changes in numerical values but also facilitates the observation of patients' learning status. Methods: This study investigates the impact of a two-year structured Diabetes Health Education (DHE) program on disease-related serum markers in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A five-year observational cohort study with retrospective analysis was conducted, involving 1,080 participants who completed the DHE program and 192 non-participants. Results: The DHE program included regular educational sessions every three months, covering topics such as blood glucose management, lipid profiles, and healthy lifestyle practices. Results demonstrated significant improvements among DHE participants: HbA1c levels decreased by 37%, fasting glucose by 4%, total cholesterol by 7%, LDL cholesterol by 13%, and triglycerides by 20%, with HDL cholesterol increasing by 3%. Body weight and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) also showed reductions of 4% and 3%, respectively, while systolic blood pressure (SBP) exhibited no significant changes. The improvements in lipid profiles were evident within six months, whereas glycemic markers required at least 1.5 years to achieve significance. Conclusion: These results suggest that a structured DHE program significantly improves glycemic control, lipid profile, and other metabolic-related markers in patients with T2DM. Notably, HbA1c and fasting glucose levels significantly improved after 1.5 years of consistent DHE participation, highlighting the importance of long-term engagement for glycemic benefits.
