Group versus Individual Care in Patients with Long-Standing Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes: A One-Year Prospective Noninferiority Study in a Tertiary Diabetes Clinic.
Trial report in Journal of diabetes research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
aimsTo explore the feasibility and noninferiority of group care in a diabetes outpatient clinic in comparison with individual care.
methodsIn this prospective, randomized, nonblinded, one center (university hospital) trial, 60 patients (28 with type 1 and 32 with type 2 diabetes) with a mean duration of diabetes of 22.5 ± 11.7 years were randomly assigned to group (6 patients per group) or individual care for one year. The primary endpoints were the change in HbA1c and visits to outpatient clinics. The secondary endpoints were changes in body mass index, blood pressure levels, waist circumference, non-HDL cholesterol, diabetes-related and well-being index questionnaires, and the number of hospitalizations.
resultsGroup care was not inferior to individual care for any of the above parameters except for the number of visits to a primary care physician.
conclusionGroup care is feasible in a diabetes clinic and is as effective as individual care. Implementation of group care may facilitate access to specialized care to a larger population of patients with diabetes type 1 and 2.
