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

purposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between visual impairment and diabetes management self-efficacy.

methodsThe present study utilized pooled cross-sectional data (2008-2018) from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Household Component and Diabetes Care Survey. Binary and generalized ordinal logit regression models were used to compare diabetes management self-efficacy between patients with and without visual impairments.

resultsCompared to their non-visually impaired counterparts, visually impaired persons had a lower odds of reporting high diabetes management self-efficacy. Similarly, visually impaired adults with diabetes have a significantly lower odds of being very confident in their ability to manage their conditions compared with adults who reported being not confident, somewhat confident, or confident. Several control factors, including self-behaviors and receipt of diabetes self-management education (DSME), were also associated with diabetes management self-efficacy.

conclusionsVisually impaired persons experience significant disparities in diabetes management self-efficacy. Given the relationship between self-efficacy and diabetes-related outcomes, it is crucial that DSME be tailored to effectively meet the individual needs of this population. Future research should explore the relationship between DSME and self-care behaviors, self-efficacy, and diabetes-related outcomes in visually impaired persons.
