1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionTo assess the diabetes self-management educational (DSME) needs of the Vietnamese diabetic population in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area.

methodsParticipants in this explorative study included 50 Vietnamese adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes recruited from the offices of four primary care physicians in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. Participants completed a culturally sensitive survey focused on their diabetes history, knowledge and need of DSME, and health beliefs. Responses were evaluated using means and frequency analysis.

resultsThe mean age of participants was 62.7±9.1 years. Over 80% of participants were most comfortable speaking and reading Vietnamese, and 62% had never received a high school diploma. Less than 50% of participants reported ever receiving education regarding diabetic complications, nutrition, desirable glycated hemoglobin values, diabetic medications, daily self-care, risk of smoking, or cardiovascular risk associated with diabetes. More than 80% of participants requested more education in all areas of DSME except smoking risk in diabetes, with all participants requesting delivery of this education in Vietnamese.

conclusionDSME is needed and desired in the Vietnamese community of the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. Education should be provided in the Vietnamese language with most targeted to lower literacy levels. Vietnamese diabetes educators should facilitate increased access to DSME knowledge and skills in efforts to improve glycemic control and overall health status for this community.
