1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 was to explore the acceptability of an educational video among primary care clinicians as a tool to promote the use of stigma-free language in interactions with individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

backgroundThe language used by primary care clinicians in interactions with adults living with T2D can contribute to perceptions and experiences of diabetes-related stigma and be a barrier to achieving and sustaining glycaemic targets. In 2017, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the Association for Diabetes Care & Education Specialists (ADCES) issued a guidance paper with recommendations to promote stigma-free communication about diabetes.

methodsThe educational video, developed by the research team, presents two versions of a vignette in which a nurse practitioner interacts with an adult with T2D in a primary care setting. The first version of the vignette features the nurse practitioner using stigmatizing language as outlined in the ADA and ADCES guidance paper; the second demonstrates the use of stigma-free language by the nurse practitioner. A narrator highlights the linguistic differences. The study participants, comprising physicians (

findingsThree main themes emerged from the data: aligning video content with existing attitudes and beliefs, reducing the use of stigmatizing language, and increasing the use of stigma-free language. Findings suggest that an educational video promoting the use of stigma-free language in interactions with adults with T2D is acceptable among primary care clinicians.
