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.

2 · The registry

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

Native Hawaiians (NHs) are a historically oppressed population disproportionately burdened by diabetes and related complications. The Kilolani Project, a patient navigator-centered, chronic disease management program, targets upstream drivers of health among vulnerable NH adult patients with diabetes within an urban academic safety-net clinic. To investigate the impact of the Kilolani Project, we performed a qualitative study to examine patient perspectives. Our goal is to ensure that their values, needs, and priorities drive future navigator-based strategies and healthcare delivery. Fifteen current Kilolani Project patients participated in one of three focus group sessions. Each session followed a semi-structured format with open-ended questions regarding their experiences with the Kilolani Project, patient navigators, and healthcare in general. Iterative transcript readings and coding revealed seven core themes: (1) Humanistic approach, (2) Trusting relationships, (3) Improved access, (4) Trauma-informed care, (5) Self-efficacy, (6) Resilience, and (7) Ethnic concordance. The Kilolani Project created a safe and culturally relevant experience for NH patients. They felt seen, heard, and valued, which resulted in an improved healthcare experience, engagement, and empowerment. Importantly, trust was the cornerstone to building a provider-patient relationship. Such culturally informed approaches are necessary to close the gap in health disparities faced by our NH communities.
