START Diabetes Prevention: A Multilevel Strategy for Primary Care Clinics.
Article in Diabetes, obesity, and cardiometabolic CARE. 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
objectivePrediabetes affects more than one in three adults in the U.S.; however, fewer than 5% receive treatment. Most prior interventions focused on individual-level barriers, neglecting the clinician- and system-level barriers. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a multilevel intervention in increasing prediabetes treatment uptake in primary care. RESEARCH DESIGN AND
methodsWe conducted a pragmatic study of the Screen, Test, Act, Refer, and Treat (START) Diabetes Prevention intervention, which included a structured workflow, shared decision-making resources, and clinical decision support tools within electronic health records. The intervention was implemented over 12 months in a suburban primary care clinic near Baltimore, MD, and compared with a control clinic in the same area. The primary outcome measured was the uptake of prediabetes treatment, defined as referral to the Diabetes Prevention Program and/or metformin prescription within 30 days of a primary care visit.
resultsBoth clinics saw increased use of preventive treatment among patients with prediabetes, with no significant differences between the two. However, the intervention clinic had a higher percentage of patients reporting they had discussions about prediabetes with their primary care clinician (PCP; 60% vs. 48%;
conclusionsThe low-touch multilevel intervention resulted in a modest increase in preventive treatment and improved patient-centered care by increasing the number of discussions and enhancing patients' understanding of prediabetes.
