Validation of diabetes medication self-efficacy scale in Chinese with type 2 diabetes.

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
aimsGreater diabetes medication self-efficacy has been shown to associate with better medication adherence, which is critical for disease control for people living with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The Diabetes Medication Self-efficacy Scale (DMSS) is a 19-item instrument to measure diabetes medication self-efficacy. The aim of the current study was to translate the DMSS into Chinese and validate the Chinese version of DMSS (CDMSS) among Chinese T2D patients.
methodsThe CDMSS was translated using forward-backward method, and its validity and reliability were assessed among 257 Chinese T2D patients. Exploratory factor analysis, Cronbach's α and Spearman's rank correlation coefficients were used to evaluate the psychometric properties of CDMSS. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was used to assess the discrimination of CDMSS for medication adherence and glycemic control.
resultsExploratory factor analysis has generated a one-factor structure of the 11-item version of CDMSS (CDMSS-11), which accounted for 63.1% of the variance. The Spearman's rank correlation coefficient between the original 19-item and 11-item scale was 0.96. The Cronbach's α for internal consistency was 0.94, and the test-retest reliability coefficient was 0.76. The CDMSS-11 score was significantly correlated with diabetes distress, medication adherence, as well as blood levels of fasting plasma glucose and hemoglobin A1c (both
conclusionThe CDMSS-11 is a valid and reliable measure to assess medication self-efficacy among Chinese T2D patients.
