Barriers and facilitators to accessing insulin pump therapy by adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus: a qualitative study.
Article in Acta diabetologica, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimsUptake of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) by people with diabetes (PwD) in Ireland is low and exhibits regional variation. This study explores barriers and facilitators to accessing CSII by adults with Type 1 diabetes mellitus. RESEARCH DESIGN AND
methodsA qualitative study employing focus groups with adults with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (n = 26) and semi-structured interviews with health care professionals (HCP) and other key stakeholders (n = 21) was conducted. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to analyze data, using NVivo.
resultsFour main themes comprising barriers to or facilitators of CSII uptake were identified. These included: (1) awareness of CSII and its benefits, (2) the structure of diabetes services, (3) the capacity of the diabetes service to deliver the CSII service, and (4) the impact of individuals' attitudes and personal characteristics-both PwD, and HCP. Each of these themes was associated with a number of categories, of which 18 were identified and explored. If the structure of the health-service is insufficient and capacity is poor (e.g., under-resourced clinics), CSII uptake appears to be impacted by individuals': interest, attitude, willingness and motivation, which may intensify the regional inequality in accessing CSII.
conclusionsThis study identified factors that contribute to gaps in the delivery of diabetes care that policy-makers may use to improve access to CSII for adult PwD.
