Effects of integrated care on health outcomes in patients with diabetes in primary healthcare: A systematic review and meta-analysis protocol.
Article in MethodsX, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Diabetes is a leading global cause of morbidity and mortality among non-communicable diseases, with increasing prevalence and a disproportionate impact on low- and middle-income countries. Integrated care has emerged as a promising approach for addressing the challenges of diabetes management, thereby enhancing clinical outcomes and optimizing healthcare resource allocation. This protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate the effects of integrated care on clinical and health outcomes in individuals with diabetes who are followed up in primary care (PC): ● The method follows PRISMA-P 2015, PRISMA-S, and PRESS 2015 guidelines. ● A comprehensive search will be conducted in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, and CINAHL, supplemented by evidence mapping using Litmaps. ● Risk of bias will be assessed with validated tools, and the overall certainty of the evidence evaluated using GRADE. Eligible studies will include those evaluating the effects of integrated care on clinical and health outcomes in individuals with diabetes treated in PC. The studies will be screened, and data will be synthesized through a meta-analysis. The findings may contribute to evidence-based public policies and the achievement of SDG-3. By encouraging the adoption of patient-centered approaches, strengthening interprofessional collaboration, and training aspects.
