Perceptions of Type 2 Diabetes Patients Towards Diabetes Management Visits at Public Primary Health Care Centers with Diverse Opinions Towards Nurse-led Clinics in Muscat, Oman: A Pilot Qualitative Study.
Article in Oman medical journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesThe literature has described several positive outcomes related to diabetes management via nurse-led clinics. This is especially true where a shortage of physicians is recorded within a team-based approach. We sought to explore the perceptions of patients with type 2 diabetes towards the current diabetes management visits at public primary health care centers in Muscat, Oman and their opinions towards nurse-led diabetes management clinics.
methodsThis pilot qualitative study included seven semi-structured interviews with type 2 diabetes patients from four purposely selected public primary health care centers in Muscat. Qualitative thematic analysis was applied.
resultsPatients with type 2 diabetes expressed their satisfaction with the present diabetes management visits at public primary health care. Their opinions towards nurse-led clinic were diverse and divided patients into three categories: those who totally refused the nurse-led clinics, those who accepted the clinics but with reservations, and patients that totally accepted the nurse-led clinics. The patients' main concern was the nurses' abilities to handle and understand the disease and its management.
conclusionsOur pilot study revealed type 2 diabetes patients' satisfaction with the current diabetes management clinics. However, transformation to nurse-led clinics within team-based approach requires further studies with a bigger sample size. Further studies on requirements related to the Omani health care system and a better understanding of patients' worries and their readiness to accept the concept of nurse-led clinics and their outcomes are also recommended.
