Structured Telehealth Community Health Worker-Clinician Feedback and Diabetes Outcomes: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Trial report in JAMA internal medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04835493 (Evaluating Telementoring to Initiate a Multidimensional Diabetes Program for Latino), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
Importance: Community health workers (CHWs) improve chronic disease management in underserved populations, but scalable integration strategies are limited. Objective: To evaluate whether a multidimensional intervention incorporating telementored CHWs and a structured participant-CHW-clinician feedback loop can improve diabetes outcomes. Design, Setting, and Participants: This 12-month randomized clinical trial was conducted at 3 institutionally and geographically diverse community clinics in Texas between September 1, 2023, and April 30, 2025, and included low-income, uninsured White Hispanic adults with type 2 diabetes identified through clinic databases. Data were analyzed between May 1 and July 31, 2025. Intervention: Individuals were randomized 1:1 to the intervention or control. For the intervention, CHWs delivered (1) group diabetes education, (2) individualized telehealth-based coaching, and (3) a novel participant-CHW-clinician feedback loop to facilitate communication, address participant concerns, and improve care coordination. The control was usual care (quarterly clinician visits and access to multidisciplinary and social services). Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcome was baseline to 12-month change in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level. Secondary outcomes included changes in cholesterol levels, American Diabetes Association (ADA) guideline adherence, participant recruitment, intervention fidelity, and feedback loop issue resolution. Results: Of 257 participants included in the intention-to-treat analysis (mean [SD] age 54 [11] years; 166 [64.6%] female), 129 were in the intervention group and 128 were in the control group. The intervention reduced HbA1c (net difference, -1.0 [95% CI, -1.5 to -0.4] percentage points [pp]; P = .001), total cholesterol (net difference, -35.4 mg/dL; 95% CI, -54.6 to -17.2 mg/dL; P = .02), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (net difference, -29.7 mg/dL; 95% CI, -44.5 to -14.9 mg/dL; P < .001) levels compared with control. ADA guideline adherence improved for foot examinations (absolute risk [AR], 19.2 [95% CI, 7.4-30.9] pp; relative risk [RR], 1.65 [95% CI, 1.19-2.27]; P = .03) and urine microalbumin screening (AR, 15.8 [95% CI, 5.3-26.3] pp; RR, 1.24 [95% CI, 1.07-1.43]; P = .048). CHWs addressed 490 participant concerns (87.2%) via the feedback loop, including medication refills, glucose management, and access to care. Conclusions and Relevance: In this randomized clinical trial, the CHW intervention significantly improved diabetes outcomes in low-income settings, potentially by reducing fragmentation through structured feedback. Findings also highlight limitations in usual care, underscoring the need for scalable strategies to strengthen chronic disease management in low-income populations.
