Effectiveness of Integrated Care for Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, Cardiovascular and Chronic Respiratory Diseases: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Article in International journal of integrated care. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Introduction: In this paper, we use the Rainbow Model of Integrated Care (RMIC) framework to evaluate the effectiveness of integrated care in terms of enhancing the outcomes of chronic conditions such as diabetes mellitus type 2 (DMT2), cardiovascular diseases (CVD), chronic respiratory diseases (CRD), or their combinations. Methods: The data extracted from randomized controlled trials (RCT) of integrated care interventions for DMT2, CVD, and CRD (follow-up ≥ 3 months) in 11 databases were analysed using random-effects meta-analysis. Results: A total of 54 eligible studies covering 12,976 participants, with a mean follow-up of 54 weeks, were included. In moderate-quality evidence, integrated care interventions reduced mortality for CVD, adverse events for CVD and DMT2, and improved quality of life for CVD and DMT2, physical and mental functioning, self-management, and blood pressure control. Conclusion: Integrated care can reduce all-cause mortality, adverse events, and improve quality of life, physical and mental functioning, self-management and blood pressure control in chronic disease patients. However, available evidence for some outcomes (e.g., all-cause hospital admissions) remains uncertain.
