Systems, Social, and Individual Factors Influencing Glycemic Control Among American Indian/Alaska Native Adults with Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesAmerican Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) peoples experience type 2 diabetes (T2DM) at double the rate of White Americans and have 2.3 times greater mortality. Glycemic control is a central goal of diabetes management and is associated with superior physical outcomes and quality of life. The purpose of this systematic review was to identify and synthesize all factors that influence glycemic control among AI/AN people with T2DM.
designThis is a systematic review guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol. PubMed, CINAHL, PsychInfo, Embase and Web of Science were searched using terms related to "type 2 diabetes" and "American Indian/Alaska Native" from 2008-2023.
resultsThirty-three studies were identified. Factors related to glycemic control were 1) healthcare interventions, 2) social determinants of health, 3) self-care behaviors, 4) mental health and psychological factors, and 5) genetic factors. Few factors were consistently associated with improved glycemic control. Multidisciplinary care models that integrate community members providing education/healthcare referrals, and medication adherence had the strongest signals with improved glycemic control. While some studies found relationships between glycemic control and diet, exercise and depression, others did not.
conclusionWhile more work is needed to understand influencers of glycemic control in this population, community health representatives, medication adherence and healthcare utilization should be leveraged to improve glycemic control. Future work among AI/AN people with T2DM should focus on how structural and societal factors, like health policy, built environment, and social environment, impact the performance of self-care behaviors and influence glycemic control.
