Type 2 Diabetes and Lifestyle Discussions With Practice Nurses in Primary Health Care: A Scoping Review of Patient Experiences.
Article in Nursing open, 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
aimThe aim of this study is to explore the global perceptions of people with type 2 diabetes regarding lifestyle communication in practice nurse consultations within primary health care settings.
designA scoping review of the peer-reviewed published literature was conducted to identify and examine the characteristics of the experiences of people living with type 2 diabetes during a practice nurse consultation, where lifestyle management is discussed. The PRISMA-ScR checklist guided the review, and CASP guidelines were used to appraise the quality of the included studies.
methodsCINAHL, Medline, PsycINFO and Scopus were searched for papers published between January 2010 and May 2025. Studies were included if they described primary research regarding lifestyle discussion experiences that people living with type 2 diabetes have with practice nurses in the primary care setting.
resultsFrom the 409 papers identified, 10 met the inclusion criteria. Key themes included the importance of unrushed consultations, the supportive yet sometimes unclear role of practice nurses, challenges in managing diabetes, the need for personalised lifestyle advice, clear explanations of health markers and varied motivations for lifestyle changes.
conclusionWhile practice nurses are trusted and valued, significant gaps exist in meeting the needs of people with type 2 diabetes. Comprehensive lifestyle management discussions, detailed dietary information and clear explanations of diabetic-specific serology are lacking. Enhancing training, increasing consultation time, involving family members and exploring eHealth solutions are crucial. Further research on brief behaviour change interventions is needed to support informed decisions and improve care quality. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
