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

Background: Diabetes is a major global public health concern. In primary care settings, a significant portion of inpatient diabetes management is delivered by non-endocrinology nurses, yet deficits in their diabetes knowledge can pose risks to patient safety. Therefore, evaluating structured training programs for these nurses is crucial. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical effects of a standardized nursing care program on patient outcomes and nursing competence in diabetic patients at a primary hospital. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental pre-post controlled study. The control group consisted of 56 nurses and 80 diabetic patients receiving routine care between May 2021 and May 2022. The observation group included the same 56 nurses and a new cohort of 80 diabetic patients after a standardized nursing intervention (June 2022-June 2023). The intervention comprised systematic diabetes nursing training for nurses and the implementation of a standardized care model for patients. Primary outcomes were changes in nurses' diabetes knowledge and operational scores, and patients' diabetes knowledge scores, glycemic control, incidence of adverse reactions, and satisfaction. Data were analyzed using Student's t-test, repeated-measures ANOVA or Chi-square tests. Results: Compared with the control group, the observation group had higher operational scores and theoretical scores after training ( Conclusion: The implementation of a standardized nursing care program significantly enhanced the diabetes-related competency of non-endocrinology nurses, leading to improved patient knowledge, better glycemic control, fewer adverse reactions, and higher satisfaction.
