Article in Journal of multimorbidity and comorbidity. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05913726 (Network of Doctors for Multimorbidity and Diabetes - The NOMAD Intervention), which is not on this map. Cited by 23 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

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.

Abstract

Background: Multidisciplinary Teams (MDTs) has been suggested as an intervention to overcome some of the complexities experienced by people with diabetes and comorbidities in terms of diagnosis and treatment. However, evidence concerning MDTs within the diabetes field remains sparse. Objective: This review aims to identify and map available evidence on key characteristics of MDTs in the context of diagnosis and treatment in people with diabetes and comorbidities. Methods: This review followed the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Databases PubMed, EMBASE, and CINAHL were systematically searched for studies assessing any type of MDT within the context of diagnosis and treatment in adult people (≥ 18 years) with diabetes and comorbidities/complications. Data extraction included details on study characteristics, MDT interventions, digital health solutions, and key findings. Results: Overall, 19 studies were included. Generally, the MDTs were characterized by high heterogeneity. Four overall components characterized the MDTs: Both medical specialists and healthcare professionals (HCPs) of different team sizes were represented; interventions spanned elements of medication, assessment, nutrition, education, self-monitoring, and treatment adjustment; digital health solutions were integrated in 58% of the studies; MDTs were carried out in both primary and secondary healthcare settings with varying frequencies. Generally, the effectiveness of the MDTs was positive across different outcomes. Conclusions: MDTs are characterized by high diversity in their outline yet seem to be effective and cost-effective in the context of diagnosis and treatment of people with diabetes and comorbidities. Future research should investigate the cross-sectorial collaboration to reduce care fragmentation and enhance care coordination.
