Diabetic Self-Care Knowledge and Associated Factors Among Adult Diabetes Mellitus Patients on Follow-Up Care at North Shewa Zone Government Hospitals, Oromia Region, Ethiopia, 2020.

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
backgroundInadequate diabetes self-care knowledge leads to developing diabetic complications and death. Diabetic complications are directly related to the patient's level of diabetic self-care knowledge.
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to assess diabetic self-care knowledge and its associated factors among adult diabetes mellitus patients on follow-up care at North Shewa Zone government hospitals, Oromia Region, Ethiopia, 2020.
methodsAn institution-based cross-sectional study was employed using a consecutive sampling technique from January 1 to February 30/2020 among 245 adult diabetes mellitus patients on follow-up care at North Shewa Zone government Hospitals, Oromia Region, Ethiopia. We used Epi data version 3.1 to enter the data and SPSS version 25 for analysis. Both bivariable and multivariable logistic regression was used to identify significant factors for knowledge of diabetic self-care.
resultsIn this study, from a total of 245 diabetic patients, 230 participated giving a response rate of 93.87%. More than half of the study respondents, 156 (67.8%), had good diabetes self-care knowledge and variables such as being employed (AOR; 0.146, 95%; CI 0.18-0.94), having information on diabetic self-care (AOR; 3.003, 95% CI 1.24-5.3) and urban residency (AOR; 0.27, 955 CI 0.099-0.532) were found to be independent factors affecting diabetic self-care knowledge.
conclusionThe magnitude of diabetes self-care knowledge was not adequate and some critical knowledge gaps were also identified in specific areas which reflect that there is a need to improve diabetic self-care knowledge among patients by implementing adequately and continuous diabetic self-care education programs.
