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

objectiveThe study examined the impact of the Diabetes Prevention and Management programme on dietary tracking, changes in dietary behaviour, glycosylated Hb (HbA1c) and weight loss over 6 months among rural adults with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes. The programme was a health coach (HC)-led, community-based lifestyle intervention.

designThe study used an explanatory sequential quantitative and qualitative design to gain insight on participant's dietary behaviour and macronutrient consumption as well as experience with food tracking. Five of the twenty-two educational sessions focussed on dietary education. Participants were taught strategies for healthy eating and dietary modification. Trained HC delivered the sessions and provided weekly feedback to food journals.

participantsObese adults with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes (

resultsFifty-nine percent consistently completed food journals. At 6 months, average diet self-efficacy and dietary intake improved, and average weight loss was 4·58 (sd 9·14) lbs. Factors associated with weight loss included attendance, consistent dietary tracking, higher HbA1c, diabetes status and energy intake (adjusted

conclusionsParticipants who consistently tracked their diet improved dietary self-efficacy and intake over 6 months. This model has the potential to be reproduced in other rural regions of the United States.
