Diabetes-dependent quality of life (ADDQOL) and affecting factors in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 in Greece.
Article in BMC research notes, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers.
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
backgroundDiabetes mellitus type 2 (T2D) is a chronic metabolic disease with a great impact on health status and quality of life (QoL) in terms of physical, social, and psychological well-being. The aim of the present study was to measure diabetes-dependent QoL and affecting factors in patients with T2D.
methodsStudy population was consisted by 258 subjects with T2D attending diabetic outpatient clinics of General Hospitals of Piraeus "Tzaneio" and Nikaia "Ag.Panteleimon" during September-December 2014. The Audit of Diabetes-Dependent Quality of Life questionnaire was carried out in all study participants.
resultsDiabetes mellitus type 2 had a negative impact to QoL in 37.3 % of the study participants while 32.9 % believed that their life would have been better without the presence of T2D. Diabetes had negative impact on working life (-1.3 ± 0.6), health status (-1.3 ± 0.2), family (-1.3 ± 0.6) and sexual life (-1.3 ± 0.3), future perspectives (-1.3 ± 0.4) and dietary habits (-1.7 ± 0.2). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that QoL was related with age [odds ratio (OR) 0.94, 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) 0.91-1.98, P = 0.008] and marital status (OR 0.43, 95 %CIs 0.21-0.90, P = 0.03).
conclusionsThe results of the present study showed that T2D per se has a negative impact to patient's QoL most of all affecting working life, health status, family and sexual life, future perspectives and dietary habits. Age and marital status were the only determinants of QoL.
