1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesThis study aims to develop the Directive and Nondirective Support Scale for Patients with Type 2 Diabetes (DNSS-T2DM) to measure diabetes-specific support and patients' preference as well as evaluate the construct validity and reliability of the DNSS-T2DM.

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in Tongzhou District, Beijing, China from July to September 2015. A total of 474 participants who had been diagnosed as type 2 diabetes by physicians and completed the DNSS-T2DM were included. The original 11-item DNSS-T2DM contains five items on nondirective support (Items 1-5) and six items on directive support (Items 6-11). There were two parallel questions for each item with one to measure the preference for support (Preference part) and the other to measure the perception of support in reality (Reality part). The final DNSS-T2DM was determined based on the results of the exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The construct validity of the final DNSS-T2DM was evaluated by the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The reliability was evaluated by internal consistency with Cronbach's α coefficients.

resultsA final 7-item DNSS-T2DM loaded on 2 factors with four items representing nondirective support and three items representing directive support was determined based on the EFA. The CFA indicated a satisfactory construct validity. The internal consistency of the 7-item DNSS-T2DM as well as the nondirective support items was satisfactory with Cronbach's α ≥ 0.70.

conclusionsOur study supported the validity and reliability of the 7-item DNSS-T2DM. Further studies on the application of the DNSS-T2DM in different settings and population are needed.
