Videographic Analysis of an Intervention to Improve Patient-Centered Care for People Living with Type 2 Diabetes: The QBSAFE Randomized Trial.
Article in Journal of general internal medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05553912 (QBSafe), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundClinical encounters between people living with type 2 diabetes and their primary care clinicians often emphasize metabolic control over self-management concerns.
objectiveTo determine whether QBSAFE cards were used as intended, their effect on the topics of discussion, and whether they enabled clinicians to notice and respond to patients' situations.
designAt a federally qualified primary care clinic, participants were randomly assigned to usual care with or without QBSAFE cards. Visits were video recorded.
participantsEleven clinicians and 155 of their patients with diabetes and HbA1c > 8%.
interventionFourteen QBSAFE cards addressing issues related to quality of life, burden of treatment, safety, and prevention of diabetes complications. MAIN MEASURES: Eight trained reviewers analyzed videos using a structured codebook to capture encounter characteristics, assess fidelity, and to record domain-specific discussions and degree of clinician responsiveness to issues raised by patients. KEY
resultsOf 143 eligible encounters (12 of 155 were found to have HbA1c ≤ 8% post-randomization), 137 (65 usual care, 72 QBSAFE) yielded evaluable videos. QBSAFE cards were used as intended in 61 (85%) QBSAFE arm encounters. Compared to usual care, conversations about burden of treatment related to nonpharmacological interventions (17 vs 33, OR 2.38, 95% CI 1.11-5.12) and to taking medications (11 vs 33, OR 4.29, 95% CI 1.78-10.37) and about the patient's challenging environment (2 vs 10, OR 5.08, 95% CI 1.05-24.50) were more prevalent in the QBSAFE arm. There were no between-arm differences in metabolic control discussions or new care plans or in encounter duration. QBSAFE encounters were more likely to be considered unhurried.
conclusionsQBSAFE cards led to small patient-centered changes to encounter conversations, promoting ones about treatment burden, without displacing metabolic control discussions. Future work will focus on assisting clinicians in responding more effectively to patient issues so that raising these could change plans of care.
