The moderating effect of social cognitive factors on self-management activities and HbA1c in Thai adults with type-2 diabetes.
Article in International journal of nursing sciences, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundDiabetes mellitus (DM) has become a serious chronic disease. Self-management strategies help persons with DM make choices which will develop skills needed to reach their goal of blood glucose control and allow them to be successful in reaching goals.
objectiveTo examine the impact of self-management activities on HbA1c for persons with DM and to examine the impact of social support, self-efficacy and Buddhist values as moderators on the relationship between the self-management activities and HbA1c.
methodThis study is a cross-sectional design. The sample included 401 Thai adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, aged 20-65 years old who had at least one HbA1c test in the last three months were recruited. Participants completed four questionnaires to measure self-management activities, as well as self-efficacy, Buddhist values and social support as moderating factors on self-management activities and HbA1c.
resultsThe self-management activities were negatively associated (β = -2.05, p ≤ 0.001) with HbA1c. The Social support, self-efficacy and Buddhist values had a significant interaction effect between selfmanagement activities and HbA1c (β = -0.97, p ≤ 0.05, β = -0.18, p ≤ 0.05 and β = -2.76, p ≤ 0.001).
conclusionThe diabetes self-management activities were more strongly associated with HbA1c under conditions of high social support, self-efficacy and health beliefs with Buddhist values. Future interventions for T2DM self-management programs should incorporate mechanisms to measure and support these factors.
