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

aimThe aim of this study was to examine the challenges of self-management of diabetes comparing gender.

methodsSixty-four women and 129 men (mean age 63 vs. 60 years) with diabetes mellitus (DM) were interviewed using 12 categories (classification codes b1300, d240, d570, d620, d845, d920, e410 + e414, e420, e425, e465, e560) related to self-care management selected from 99 categories of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Core Set for DM. In a mixed-methods analysis, interviews were analyzed according to the Grounded Theory approach, and gender effects on ICF categories related to self-care management were investigated using logistic models.

resultsIn quantitative data, compared with men, women tended to experience greater difficulty obtaining foods/ingredients for well-balanced meals to maintain appropriate glucose level (

conclusionsWomen were more likely to be sensitive to attention from close family and friends, whereas men were more likely to be occupied by work and daily living concerns. Health professionals should pay attention to such gender differences in a patient-professional relationship.
