The effect of educational intervention on the lifestyle changes of elderly people with diabetes.
Trial report in BMC endocrine disorders, 2026. 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
backgroundDiabetes is a common chronic disease among the elderly, with significant complications if not managed through a healthy lifestyle. This study evaluated the impact of an educational intervention on lifestyle changes in elderly individuals with diabetes in Yasuj, Iran.
methodsThis quasi-interventional study included 80 elderly individuals with diabetes in Yasuj, Iran, selected via multi-stage cluster sampling from four health centers. Two centers were randomly assigned to the intervention group (n = 40) and two to the control group (n = 40). The intervention group participated in six weekly 60-minute educational sessions based on Walker's health-promoting lifestyle model, covering nutrition, physical activity, stress management, interpersonal relationships, and spirituality through lectures, group discussions, and visual aids. The control group received routine care. Lifestyle components were assessed using Walker's health style questionnaire before and three months after the intervention. Data were analyzed using independent t-tests and chi-square tests.
resultsBefore the intervention, there were no significant differences between the intervention and control groups in the total lifestyle scores (p = 0.82) or any of its sub-scores, including nutrition (p = 0.75), physical activity (p = 0.76), responsibility (p = 0.74), stress management (p = 0.91), interpersonal relationships (p = 0.84), and spiritual growth (p = 0.92). After the intervention, the intervention group showed significantly higher total lifestyle scores (p = 0.001) compared to the control group. Significant improvements were also observed in all sub-scores, including nutrition (p = 0.001), physical activity (p = 0.001), responsibility (p = 0.001), stress management (p = 0.001), interpersonal relationships (p = 0.001), and spiritual growth (p = 0.001).
conclusionThe lifestyle-based educational intervention significantly improved participants' ability to adopt healthier behaviors, including better nutrition, physical activity, and stress management, leading to an overall enhancement in their lifestyle. These improvements suggest that such interventions can play a key role in diabetes management and the prevention of related complications in elderly individuals. Future research should explore long-term impacts and the integration of similar educational programs into broader public health strategies.
