Barriers to Type 2 Diabetes Management Among Older Adult Haitian Immigrants.
Article in The science of diabetes self-management and care, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04949568 (Self-Management and Glycemic Control in Adult Haitian Immigrants With Type 2 Diabetes), which is not on this map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
purposeThe purpose of this study was to describe the experiences of older adult Haitian immigrants in managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
methodsA descriptive qualitative approach using semistructured interviews was conducted with 20 older adult Haitian immigrants with T2DM. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and categorized using NVivo. An iterative descriptive data analysis method was used to examine the data, compare codes, challenge interpretations, and develop themes inductively.
resultsOlder adult Haitian immigrants reported that T2DM affected every aspect of their lives. Financial hardship and social isolation were described as the major barriers to T2DM management, which forced them to choose between basic needs and health care, and at times, they had to forgo medications or avoid seeking medical care. They recognized that creating and maintaining good community support was the key to self-management of T2DM.
conclusionsFinancial hardship and social isolation have a tremendous impact on the ability of older Haitian immigrants to manage T2DM effectively. It is challenging to modify these barriers through individual efforts, and clinical, research, and public efforts may be necessary to address these concerns.
