Point-of-Care A1C and Time from Test to Communication of Results in Primary Care.
Article in Population health management, 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
Although patients with uncontrolled diabetes (A1C ≥ 9%) frequently visit their primary care physicians' offices, their diabetes medication is not always changed or intensified at those visits, a pattern described as "therapeutic inertia." One potential solution is the use of point-of-care fingerstick hemoglobin A1C (A1C), which provides results in minutes, rather than venous A1C, which takes days. However, point-of-care A1C is not consistently used in current practice. The authors sought to determine the effectiveness of a systematic nurse-based intervention for implementing point-of-care A1C testing among patients with uncontrolled diabetes. They conducted a before-and-after experimental trial to determine the effect of point-of-care A1C testing on therapeutic inertia in a hospital-based clinic in New York, NY, in 2024-2025. They compared the frequency of any clinical action taken and the time to communication of results to patients before vs. after intervention implementation, using chi-squared and
