Investigating the Added Value of a Culturally Tailored Peer Support Intervention for Black Adults with Diabetes: A Randomized Mixed Methods Pilot Trial.

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
Purpose: This randomized controlled mixed methods pilot study evaluated the preliminary signal of effectiveness of a culturally tailored intervention embedded within a standard Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) program. Patients and Methods: Fourteen Black adults with uncontrolled diabetes (A1C ≥ 7.5) enrolled in the study. The study was conducted at a community center and over the phone within a US Midwestern State. All participants participated in a 6-week evidence-based DSME program, with a subset of participants (n=7) randomized to the intervention receiving additional education sessions and race-congruent phone-based peer support throughout the 6-month intervention. Changes in Hemoglobin A1c (A1C) (primary outcome) and self-reported medication adherence (secondary outcome), and other psychosocial outcomes (beliefs about diabetes, self-efficacy, diabetes empowerment, etc.) were assessed at 3 and 6 months using paired t-tests. Between-group differences were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney Results: At 6-months, A1C was statistically significantly lower in the intervention group (7.9% (SD =0.4; 95% CI [7.6-8.2]); n=7) compared to the control group (10.6% (SD =0.7; 95% CI [9.9-11.2]); Conclusion: The findings suggest a signal of evidence for a future adequately powered, randomized controlled trial, testing whether the addition of the theory and evidence-informed culturally specific components of the intervention improve outcomes compared to the DSME program alone.
