The effect of a family health nurse model on blood sugar control in middle-aged prediabetics: a randomized clinical trial (RCT).
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. 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
backgroundPrediabetes is a reversible condition, and timely interventions can prevent long-term complications. Family support is crucial in managing this condition. This study evaluated the impact of a family health nurse (FHN) model for blood sugar control in middle-aged prediabetic individuals.
methodThis study adheres to the CONSORT 2010 statement guidelines. This study is a clinical trial involving 72 prediabetic middle-aged individuals from health service centers in Isfahan in 2023. The participants were selected through convenience sampling on the basis of the inclusion criteria and randomly assigned to the intervention or control groups. Data collection included a glucose meter, a calibrated scale, a demographic information form, and blood tests for HbA1c and fasting blood sugar (FBS). 15 training sessions based on the FHN model were conducted for the intervention group. Assessments were conducted before the intervention and three months later. The data were analyzed via SPSS v26 with descriptive and inferential statistics.
resultsThe research findings indicated no significant difference in FBS or HbA1c levels between the two groups before the FHN model was implemented (P > 0.05). However, significant differences were observed immediately after the intervention and three months after the intervention (P < 0.001). Results showed that the mean hemoglobin A1c score in the intervention group decreased from 5.41 mmol/L before the intervention to 5.27 mmol/L three months later (p value < 0.05). In the control group, the mean score increased from 5.88 mmol/L to 6.05 mmol/L, but this change was not statistically significant (p value > 0.05). These results highlight the potential of the family health nurse model to improve blood sugar control in prediabetic individuals.
conclusionThis study indicates that a family-centered intervention using the FHN model can effectively enhance healthy lifestyle behaviors and blood sugar levels in prediabetic patients. These findings suggest that the model may be helpful for researchers and health practitioners, and we recommend its evaluation and implementation in broader communities. CLINICAL
