Virtual care in patients with type 2 diabetes during covid-19
Article in Revista medica del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: The covid-19 pandemic made self-management difficult for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Some health services provided remote care to people with chronic illnesses. Objective: To compare the modalities of care, in-person (AP) versus virtual (AV), during the covid-19 pandemic on clinical and mental health variables. Material and methods: Prospective cohort study of 75 patients with a diagnosis of DM2 (age Me = 49 years) treated between June 2020 and December 2021. A total of 40 (53%) received VA and 35 (47%) AP. The Chi square and Mann-Whitney U statistical tests were used to show homogeneity between groups and the Friedman test to compare the pre- and post-test change, considering each attention group as a comparison factor. Results: In both groups the values of HbA1c, triglycerides and Non-HDL cholesterol decreased. Both groups improved in quality of life and emotional exhaustion. A Cox regression model showed that the perception of a good quality of life and triglyceride control at two months increase the HR of HbA1c control, after adjusting the model for age and sex. Conclusions: Both care modalities generate a similar benefit in the management of T2DM. The virtual consultation was a useful and safe alternative.
