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

Objective: To develop an evidence-based "three-dimensional integrated" four-stage discharge preparation plan for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and to investigate its effects on discharge readiness, glycemic control, self-management ability, prognosis, and to evaluate its health economic value. Methods: An evidence-based nursing approach was adopted to retrieve, appraise, and synthesize relevant evidence, forming an intervention program integrating three dimensions (evidence, process, and tools) across four stages: admission assessment, inpatient intervention, discharge reinforcement, and post-discharge follow-up. A total of 120 hospitalized patients with T2DM admitted to the endocrinology department of our hospital from April 2025 to October 2025 were randomly assigned to an intervention group and a control group, with 60 patients in each group. The control group received routine discharge guidance, while the intervention group was treated with the discharge preparation plan. Discharge readiness (RHDS scores), glycemic control indicators, self-management ability (SDSCA scores), readmission rates, and medical costs were compared between the two groups at baseline and at 1 and 3 months post-discharge, and a cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted. Results: After the intervention, the intervention group demonstrated significantly higher RHDS total scores at discharge (75.4 ± 7.1 vs. 62.6 ± 6.8, Conclusion: The evidence-based three-dimensional integrated four-stage discharge preparation plan for patients with T2DM can effectively improve discharge readiness and self-management ability, optimize glycemic control, reduce readmission rates, and demonstrate clear health economic advantages, indicating that it is worthy of clinical promotion.
