The Relationship Between Postrelease Social Determinants of Health and Glycemic Control in African Americans With Criminal Legal Involvement and Type 2 Diabetes.
Article in Journal of diabetes research, 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
backgroundLimited literature exists on the relationship between postrelease social determinants of health and glycemic control among African Americans with a history of criminal legal involvement and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
methodsParticipants were recruited from clinics, community centers, and places of worship in the midwestern United States. Stepwise regression with forward selection was used to evaluate the relationship between postrelease criminal justice system factors, social risk/environmental factors, and glycemic control among African American with history of criminal legal involvement and T2DM.
resultsRetained variables from the stepwise regression included age, comorbidity, type of medication, length of incarceration, insurance, and housing insecurity. The analysis revealed statistically significant associations between comorbidity, type of medication, and insurance type with glycemic control. Compared with using only pills or oral hypoglycemic agents, the combination of pills/oral hypoglycemic agents and insulin (β-coefficient: 1.44; 95% CI: 0.77, 2.12) and using insulin or injectables alone (β-coefficient: 0.95; 95% CI: 0.16, 1.73) were associated with an increase in HbA1c. Additionally, each additional comorbidity (β-coefficient: -0.25; 95% CI: -0.40, -0.11) was associated with a decrease in HbA1c. Compared with individuals with private/military/other insurance, those with Medicare (β-coefficient: 1.40; 95% CI: 0.43, 2.37) and Medicaid (β-coefficient: 1.11; 95% CI: 0.12, 2.10) were associated with higher HbA1c.
conclusionPostrelease criminal justice factors and social/environmental risk factors were not statistically significant. Future studies should evaluate the relationship between insurance type and glycemic control among this population.
