Improving in-hospital diabetes awareness and transition of care by a digitalized diabetes management.
Article in Endocrine, 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
purposeDiabetes as common comorbidity is associated with an impaired outcome for inpatients. Inadequate transition of dysglycemia specific information from hospital to outpatient setting may disrupt continuity of care and contribute to impaired patient outcome. We tested whether a digitalized diabetes management improves awareness of in-hospital health care professionals for diabetes as comorbidity.
methodsSmartDiabetesCare, a digitalized diabetes management, was carried out prospectively on five non-ICU wards as a quality improvement project (QiP SDC) including systematic screening for dysglycemia at admission, flagging of identified cases, continuous glucose monitoring and a proactive diabetes-team. Chance for correctly documented dysglycemia specific information in discharge letters written during QiP SDC in comparison to usual diabetes care (UDC) was calculated and performance was assessed to evaluate the impact of QiP SDC on quality of diabetes-specific transition.
resultsDischarge letters of 1141 cases were included in the analysis. Comparing QiP SDC to UDC, the odds ratio for complete correct transition of diabetes-specific information was 2.80 (95%CI: 1.48-5.29) in QiP SDC vs UDC. Accordingly, the performance score was significantly higher in QiP SDC (1.79 vs. 1.23, p < 0.01). If only patients with newly diagnosed dysglycemia were analyzed, OR for correct documentation increased to 9.22 (95%CI: 4.01-18.80) and performance score remained significantly higher in QiP SDC, but decreased compared to the overall population (0.60 vs. 0.16, p < 0.01).
conclusionsA digitalized diabetes management may raise awareness for diabetes in in-hospital health care professionals and improve quality of diabetes data transition potentially increasing the chance for continuity of care.
