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

objectiveThe mechanisms underlying the relations between diabetes self-care behaviors, cognition, and social factors are still equivocal, and it is unclear how diabetes knowledge and health literacy is associated with self-care behaviors. Here, we tested a hypothetical path model linking diabetes self-care behaviors to knowledge, health literacy, and constructs of the extended parallel process model (EPPM) to understand potential predictors that may influence patients' self-care behavior with type 2 diabetes.

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted, and 404 patients with type 2 diabetes were recruited from healthcare centers in Khaf, Iran. Diabetes self-care behaviors were indicated by, glucose self-control, foot care, physical activity, medications, smoking, and a healthy diet. The main data collection instruments in this study were the Health Literacy for Iranian Adults questionnaire (HELIA), diabetes knowledge, and self-care behavior based on the EPPM questionnaires.

resultsThe results from path modeling indicated that perceived susceptibility, efficacy, self-efficacy, knowledge, and health literacy were significant (

conclusionBased on the results, key constructs of EPPM, diabetes knowledge, and health-related literacy are empirically supported diabetes self-care behaviors. These factors could apply to health professionals for developing educational intervention programs to facilitate a physically active lifestyle.
