Assessment of Diabetes-Related Health Disparities among the Marshallese Living in the Republic of the Marshall Islands.
Article in Hawai'i journal of health & social welfare, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
There is a high prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among the Marshallese in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI). However, no prior literature has examined self-reported health indicators, self-management activities, barriers to care, diabetes knowledge, and family support for diabetes management. This study examined health indicators among participants with T2DM (n=41). Clinical measures included glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and fasting glucose level, blood pressure, pulse pressure, and cholesterol levels. Survey items included participants' self-reported health indicators, self-management activities, barriers to care, diabetes knowledge, and family support for diabetes management. Clinical health indicators demonstrate the poor health status of the participants, including uncontrolled fasting glucose levels and HbA1c levels (61.9% had an HbA1c ≥9.0%), high blood pressure, elevated pulse pressure (65.9% had pulse pressure >40 mmHg), and high total cholesterol. Participants report limited knowledge and participation in diabetes self-management behaviors, limited family support, and faced numerous barriers to medical care, medications, and supplies. This study provides insight into the T2DM disparities experienced by Marshallese in the RMI. This study is the first to document the self-reported health indicators, self-management activities, barriers to care, diabetes knowledge, and family support for diabetes management. The results highlight the need for T2DM management interventions and will be used to refine a culturally adapted intervention for delivery in the RMI.
