Barriers and enablers to proper diabetic foot care amongst community dwellers in an Asian population: a qualitative study.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
backgroundDiabetic foot complications are common within Asian populations. They arise due to poor diabetic control and foot care. In this study, we aimed to identify the causes for proper and improper diabetic foot care.
methodsA qualitative study consisting of key informant interviews with 17 healthcare professionals, including doctors and various allied health workers, was conducted. Participants included had at least five years of caring for diabetic foot patients either in public institutions or private clinics. Data collected was analyzed via thematic analysis.
resultsDiabetic patients were generally observed to have a mixture of proper and improper information and beliefs which eventually resulted in the extent of proper foot care. Factors which influenced the extent of proper and improper state of information and beliefs were classified into predisposing and precipitating factors. Predisposing factors were further categorised into modifiable factors (e.g., education level, socioeconomic status, social support) and non-modifiable factors (e.g., age, presence and severity of co-morbidities restricting ability to selfcare, past experiences). Precipitating factors were categorized into patient factors (e.g., degree of reception of information, presence of psychological barriers), provider factors (presence and degree of multi-disciplinary approach to care, presence of administrative inconveniences) and disease factors (presence of diabetic sensory neuropathy, complexity of disease process).
conclusionsThe extent of proper foot care amongst diabetic patients is influenced by numerous predisposing and precipitating factors. Further studies can look at further development of the described structure as well as quantitatively defining the various components and factors which make up the described system.
