Effectiveness of web-based educational videos on enhancing diabetes knowledge and empowerment among type 2 diabetes patients in primary care: A randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in PloS one, 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
objectiveThis study evaluated the effectiveness of web-based educational video module on diabetes knowledge, empowerment, and clinical outcomes among adults with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes in a primary care setting.
methodsA single-centre, parallel-group, randomised controlled trial was conducted at a public primary care clinic in Malaysia. Adults aged 18 years or older with type 2 diabetes for at least six months and poor glycaemic control were randomly assigned to receive either a web-based educational video intervention or standard care. The intervention consisted of culturally adapted, multilingual educational videos covering diabetes self-care, medication use, diet, physical activity, and complication prevention, supported by monthly follow-up reminders. Primary outcomes were diabetes knowledge and empowerment. Secondary outcomes included HbA1C, blood pressure, fasting lipid profile, body mass index, and waist circumference. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, three months, and six months.
resultsA total of 232 participants were randomised into intervention and control groups (n = 116 each), with mean age of 59 years old, slight male predominance (53.0%) and mostly Malay (43.1%), with obesity (51.7%). Following the web-based intervention, participants demonstrated significant improvements in diabetes knowledge (β = 23.74, 95% CI: 20.57-26.91) and empowerment (β = 11.53, 95% CI: 9.98-13.09) compared with those receiving standard care at both three and six months (p < 0.001). Improvements in HbA1C, blood pressure, fasting lipid profile, body mass index, and waist circumference were also observed in the intervention group relative to controls (p < 0.05).
conclusionA culturally adapted, web-based educational video module was associated with improvements in diabetes knowledge, empowerment, and cardiometabolic outcomes among adults with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. These findings support the use of web-based education as a scalable adjunct to standard diabetes care in primary care settings.
