Diabetes management in the context of social needs: A qualitative process evaluation from care team members' perspectives.
Article in Health care management review. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundClinical management of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) can be hindered by patients' nonmedical, health-related social needs such as financial strain, housing instability, or food insecurity. PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to characterize the contextual factors and processes that influence care team members' abilities to address social needs impacting T2D management in outpatient settings. METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: We conducted semistructured, qualitative interviews (N = 38) in tandem with the launch of a randomized controlled trial testing a patient-level intervention to improve diabetes outcomes in individuals experiencing food insecurity. We purposively selected a diverse array of care team members (e.g., physicians, social workers, diabetes educators, dietitians, community health workers) working across varying ambulatory clinics (e.g., family medicine, general internal medicine, endocrinology). All were affiliated with an academic medical center serving a diverse population in a Midwestern metropolitan area. Guided by a process evaluation framework, interview transcripts were coded and analyzed for themes via iterative deductive and inductive processes.
resultsContextual factors influencing T2D management for patients with social needs included telehealth policy, insurance coverage, and partnerships. Relevant implementation processes were categorized along a temporal continuum: previsit (i.e., transportation, social needs screening), during visit (i.e., appointment duration, care team member awareness, and communication of resources), and postvisit (i.e., closed-loop referrals). Mechanisms of impact included availability of support staff as well as availability of programs and resources to address social needs.
conclusionsStrengthening partnerships and considering logistics can help promote awareness of existing programs, facilitate bidirectional communication about use of services, and support overall clinical management of T2D for patients with social needs.
