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

backgroundOptimal glycemic control is known to be challenging for people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) due to the maintenance of long-term self-management behavior. Incorporating the transtheoretical model (TTM) components into motivational interviewing (MI) has been applied to promote self-management behaviors such as physical activity in T2D patients. However, the effectiveness of the TTM-based MI intervention in improving glycemic control, self-management, and self-efficacy in adults with T2D remains unclear.

aimThis systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials aimed to estimate the effect of a TTM-based MI intervention on glycemic control, self-management, and self-efficacy in adults with T2D patients.

methodsWe searched five electronic databases up to September 13, 2023. Two researchers independently screened records, extracted data, and assessed study quality using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool 2.0. Pooled effects were estimated in standardized mean differences (SMDs) or mean differences (MDs) using fixed- and random-effects models. Sensitivity analysis and meta-regression explored the reasons for heterogeneity.

resultsThirty trials with 4214 participants were identified. The TTM-based MI intervention significantly reduced HbA1c (MD = -0.92, 95% CI [-1.08, -0.75], p < 0.001, I LINKING EVIDENCE TO ACTION: The TTM-based MI intervention can be a promising intervention for understanding patients' stage of change with tailored strategies and MI techniques to facilitate behavior change, resulting in improved glycemic control, self-management, and self-efficacy in T2D patients. Nevertheless, given the moderate to high risk of bias in the included studies, further rigorous randomized controlled trials should be conducted to examine the effectiveness of TTM-based MI interventions. Short and multiple sessions that comply with the fidelity of MI in the intervention plans are suggested in daily nursing routine for diabetes self-management education.
