Service user experiences of a nationally implemented diabetes prevention programme in England: a qualitative interview study.
Article in Health psychology and behavioral medicine, 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
Introduction: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic condition linked to obesity that affects millions of people within England. Behaviour change interventions implemented worldwide targeting weight loss have been effective in preventing T2D. In response to this, the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme (NHS-DPP) was introduced in 2016, and was the first initiative in England to implement a diabetes prevention programme at scale. The current study investigates service users' experiences of attending in-person sessions of the NHS-DPP when the programme was first rolled out. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with service users ( Results: Three themes were produced. Mindset Shift: whilst the participants did not always maintain their behaviour changes, they experienced a change in mindset towards T2D and their current behaviours. Content tailoring: the participants described how the lack of content tailoring towards culture and the starting weight of participants within the programme negatively impacted their experiences. Social experiences: participants reported that the programme's group format and wider social support from their friends and family were important for engaging with and maintaining behaviour change. Discussion: The current study identifies how diabetes prevention programmes can promote behaviour changes and mindset shifts to support diabetes prevention. However, greater content tailoring, particularly concerning culturally informed food preferences and encouraging social support for participants, may improve the long-term effectiveness and engagement of diabetes prevention programmes.
