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

aimsTo design a national competency framework supporting the training of healthcare professionals (HCP) in the care and management of people with diabetes using diabetes technologies.

methodsFollowing the release of the NICE [TA943] guidance

resultsWe developed a four-level training and competency framework using the 'Novice to Expert' framework and identified skills and competencies for each of those levels. We then sought endorsement from leading national organisations to create this consensus document. This framework complements the delivery recommendations of the 5-year NHS implementation plan for HCL by helping HCPs develop competence and confidence to support HCL users.

conclusionsWe anticipate that the national adoption of this training and competency framework will allow healthcare providers to assess and improve the care they provide. This in turn will improve access to therapies, care standards and improve clinical outcomes.
