Figure 19. Plot of network meta-analysis results <strong>for</strong> effect moderation on HbA 1c in T2DM<br />

This plot depicts the results from our network meta-analysis <strong>for</strong> the outcome of HbA 1c (negative values favorable) when<br />

comparing groups (“nodes”) of interventions, with each group differing by at least one level in the categories of program<br />

component, intensity, mode of communication, delivery method, and (<strong>for</strong> DSME programs only) delivery personnel (see Table 3<br />

<strong>for</strong> categorization schema and the figure legend <strong>for</strong> a description of each node). The dots and lines represent the mean difference<br />

(MD) and 95 percent credibility intervals <strong>for</strong> the represented programs relative to usual care; the figure indicates which MDs<br />

meet or exceed our predetermined threshold <strong>for</strong> clinical importance (reduction in HbA 1c of ≥0.4%). The estimated MDs and 95%<br />

credibility intervals are included in Table 12.<br />
