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

backgroundThis research study investigates the degree of medication-related satisfaction experienced by Palestinian patients with diabetes. In addition, this study further assesses the association between certain clinical and socio-demographic factors and the degree of satisfaction among the patients.

methodsThis cross-sectional, descriptive study design consisted of 415 randomly selected patients from the Palestine Medical Complex (PMC), the Palestinian Ministry of Health Clinics, and from the Palestinian Diabetes Institute (also known as: Al-Bireh Medical Center). The Diabetes Medication Satisfaction (DiabMedSat) questionnaire measured patients' satisfaction levels regarding their medications.

resultsOdds ratios from binomial logistic analysis and the analysis of variance determined statistically significant correlations. The analysis has displayed the presence of significant associations between clinical and socio-demographic factors and treatment satisfaction. Significance was determined at

conclusionThis research identified statistically significant associations between certain clinical and socio-demographic factors and diabetic patients' satisfaction regarding their treatment. Addressing the concerns and difficulties experienced by the patients may impede treatment incompliance and hinder the development of complications, or at least postpone them.
