Diabetes educational interventions in care homes: a scoping review.
Article in BMC medical education, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 affects approximately 10.5% of the global adult population and is more prevalent in care homes due to residents’ advanced age and multimorbidity. Effective diabetes management in these settings is essential to prevent complications and maintain quality of life, yet evidence addressing the specific needs of this population remains limited. High-quality care relies on access to appropriate clinical education. This scoping review will synthesise evidence on educational interventions to support diabetes care provision in care home settings.
methodsThis scoping review was undertaken in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across three electronic databases: CINAHL Plus, Medline, and PsycINFO. Methodological quality of the included primary studies was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT).
resultsIn total, 10 studies were included in the review, encompassing evidence from a range of international contexts. Analysis revealed three prominent themes; Firstly, educating nurses about diabetes can improve practice and behaviour. Secondly, educational interventions can increase staff knowledge and confidence, which is linked to enhancing the quality of care. Finally, a range of facilitators and barriers influencing the delivery of diabetes training in care homes were identified. DISCUSSION: The review suggests that educational interventions in care homes can enhance diabetes care. However, while the current evidence is encouraging, there are a lack of empirically tested educational interventions for diabetes education in this setting. Further, current educational programmes appear to lack key detail including footcare, eye care and COVID-19. To ensure the provision of high-quality diabetic care, it is therefore important to enhance the training and education of staff members.
