The intervention to improve quality of life for African American lupus patients project: Incorporating the element of choice to improve disease self-management and quality of life: A randomized controlled study.
Trial report in Lupus, 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
BackgroundThe Intervention to Improve Quality of life for African American lupus patients (IQAN) Project is a three armed randomized, wait list-controlled trial focused on providing a variety of self-management tools to participants. We focus on African American individuals with lupus due to the increased morbidity and mortality in this population.PurposeTo examine whether a unique 'a-la-carte' self-management program improved quality of life, decreased depression, and reduced perceived and biological indicators of stress in African American lupus patients.MethodsIndividualized intervention plans (IIP's) offered 1-4 options, including a mail-delivered arthritis kit, message board, support group, and enrollment in a self-management program. A 'set menu' control condition included a standardized chronic disease self-management program only, and a control condition was usual care (UC). Validated measures of stress, depression, and quality of life were collected in all patients before and after intervention activities. To evaluate changes between baseline and post-intervention, compact scores were compared across groups, using two-sample t-tests.ResultsImprovements were observed in areas of stress management and pain management (
