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

The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life and degree of satisfaction with the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in primary health care in Turkey. A total of 180 adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus from the Family Medicine out-patient clinic were included in the study. Participants were asked to fill out a self-report survey to collect data via two well validated scales, including the Turkish version of the Audit of Diabetes Dependent Quality of Life (ADDQoL) instrument and the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ). Overall average weighted impact score for the study group was -2.73 ± 2.56. Diabetes mellitus has the largest impact on enjoyment of food (mean ± SD impact rating: -1.63 ± 1.50). The mean score of the DTSQ was 21.02 ± 8.07 (range from better to worse: 36 to 0) for the entire group. Presence of diabetes-related complication was significantly related with lower treatment satisfaction scores (mean ± SD = 23.08 ± 7.32 without complications; mean ± SD = 18.48 ± 8.36 with complications, P = 0.003). Physicians working in primary care should be equipped with more recent knowledge of diabetes treatment in order to tailor more appropriate treatment strategies from current guidelines.
