Lower knowledge about diabetes among foreign-born compared to Swedish-born persons with diabetes-A descriptive study.
Article in Nursing open, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
aimTo compare foreign- and Swedish-born persons, diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, to study whether there are dissimilarities in knowledge about diabetes and to study determinants of knowledge.
designA cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted.
methodData were collected between September 2014 and March 2016, using the standardized Diabetes Knowledge Test (DKT), statistically analysed.
resultsThe results showed dissimilarities in knowledge between foreign- and Swedish-born persons, supporting the hypothesis that foreign-born persons had lower knowledge about diabetes than Swedish-born persons. There was a relationship between poor knowledge and country of birth, marital status and employment status. Country of birth was the strongest independent determinant of knowledge about diabetes. The risk of poor knowledge was ten times higher among persons born in the Middle East or in another country outside Europe compared with Swedish-born persons. Other influencing factors for poor knowledge about diabetes were being not gainfully employed and living alone.
