Diabetes self-management education and its association with hospital admissions and premature mortality: A scoping review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Diabetes, obesity & metabolism, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Type 2 diabetes is associated with increased all-cause hospital admissions and premature mortality. Diabetes self-management education (DSME) is internationally recommended but its impact on reducing hospital admissions and premature mortality is unclear. This scoping review followed the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews and explores the relationship between DSME, hospital admissions and mortality in adults with type 2 diabetes. Core search terms for type 2 diabetes were combined with terms for DSME, hospital admission, and mortality. Searches were conducted on 10 January 2024, and checked in September 2025, across three electronic databases: CINAHL, MEDLINE, and EMBASE. No restrictions were applied regarding study design, quality, location, or sex. The search yielded 294 records from databases and 66 from manual searches; 42 met inclusion criteria. Evidence regarding hospitalisation was inconsistent, with heterogenous outcome definitions and frequent reporting of admissions as a reason for attrition. Meta-analysis showed a non-significant 9% reduction in admission risk among DSME groups. By contrast, meta-regression found that whether mortality was reported as a primary outcome significantly moderated the treatment effect (p = 0.0002), fully accounting for between-study heterogeneity (τ
