Co-design of pathway and manual for a dietitian-led approach to the management of type 2 diabetes in Nepal.
Article in BMC nutrition, 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
backgroundType 2 diabetes (T2D) is a global public health problem, and its prevalence in resource-poor countries like Nepal has been rapidly increasing. However, there is a lack of a contextual and consistently structured, guided approach tailored to the integrated management of T2D in Nepal. Therefore, this study aims to co-design a pathway and manual for a dietitian-led dietary approach to the management of T2D in Nepal.
methodsThe study used a co-design method guided by the "Design Thinking" approach. Data were collected through a purposively selected group of 14 participants who participated in a co-design workshop, and nine participants with whom qualitative interviews were conducted to validate the co-designed contents. Before conducting the co-design workshop, nineteen one-on-one consultative meetings were carried out with various stakeholders. The data analysis followed the content analysis technique and presented results under common broader themes.
resultsThe results from the first part of a co-design workshop are presented under themes including complexities of diabetes management in the Nepalese context, social and behavioural challenges, dietary adherence challenges and service providers' responses, and treatment approaches. The results from the second part of the workshop are presented under the themes, including the pathway for the dietitian-led dietary approach for the management of diabetes and the contents and design of the Nutrition Education Manual for the management of T2D.
conclusionsThe pathway co-designed for integrated management of T2D offers a contextual framework for understanding the mechanisms of change underlying the integrated efforts in T2D management. At the same time, the Nutrition Education Manual provides practical guidance for promoting healthy dietary behaviours among patients with T2D.
