Health literacy experiences of multi-ethnic patients and their health-care providers in the management of type 2 diabetes in Malaysia: A qualitative study.
Article in Health expectations : an international journal of public participation in health care and health policy, 2020. 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
backgroundPatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) require adequate health literacy to understand the disease and learn self-management skills to optimize their health. However, the prevalence of limited health literacy is high in patients with T2DM, especially in Asian countries.
objectiveThis study aimed to explore experiences related to health literacy in Asian patients with T2DM.
designThis is a qualitative study using in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. A framework analysis was used to analyse the data. SETTING AND
participantsarticipants (n = 24) were multi-ethnic patients with T2DM (n = 18) and their primary health-care providers (n = 6). This study was conducted in four primary health-care clinics in Malaysia.
resultsNine subthemes were identified within the four dimensions of health literacy: accessing, understanding, appraising and applying information. DISCUSSION: Motivated patients actively sought information, while others passively received information shared by family members, friends or even strangers. Language and communication skills played important roles in helping patients understand this information. Information appraisal was lacking, with patients just proceeding to apply the information obtained. Patients' use of information was influenced by their self-efficacy, and internal and external barriers.
conclusionIn conclusion, the experiences of multi-ethnic patients with T2DM regarding health literacy were varied and heavily influenced by their cultures.
