Predictors of health facility readiness for diabetes service delivery in low- and middle-income countries: The case of Bangladesh.
Article in Diabetes research and clinical practice, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 9 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
aimsWe aimed to evaluate the readiness and predictors of diabetes service capability at the level of primary care in Bangladesh as an illustrative instance of readiness for diabetes care in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
methodsWe used data from the 2014 Bangladesh Health Facility Survey (BHFS), a cross-sectional, nationally representative survey (n = 1596 health facilities). We constructed a diabetes-specific readiness index to assess diabetes service readiness in facilities with outpatient capability and used multivariable regression analysis to evaluate contextual predictors of diabetes service readiness.
resultsThree-hundred and forty-five facilities with outpatient and diabetes service capability were included. Mean readiness for diabetes service capability on a scale of 0-100 was 24.9 (95%CI: 20.8-28.9) and was lowest in rural settings, districts with high social deprivation, and public facilities, where diabetes diagnostic equipment and medications were largely unavailable. Facility type was the strongest, independent predictor of diabetes service readiness.
conclusionsDiabetes service readiness in outpatient facilities in Bangladesh was low, particularly in public facilities, rural settings, and districts with high social deprivation. .These findings could inform policies aimed at improving diabetes care in areas of high unmet need and may serve as a model to assess diabetes service readiness in other LMICs.
