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

backgroundDiabetes self-management questionnaire (DSMQ) is among the relatively new tools with comprehensive structure measuring various dimensions of self-care behaviors in diabetic patients. This study was carried out to evaluate psychometric properties of Persian version of DSMQ.

methodsA cross-sectional study was carried out from January to March 2017 among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) referred to urban health centers, in Kerman, southeastern Iran. Data were collected from 589 patients using DSMQ. The DSMQ was translated into Persian by forward and backward translation method. Cronbach's alpha method and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were used to measure internal consistency and test-retest reliability, respectively. In addition, construct validity was assessed by confirmatory factor analysis and exploratory factor analysis (EFA).

resultsThe sum-scale Cronbach's α of DSMQ was equal to 0.82 for 30 participants. The mean inter-item correlation and mean item-total correlation of "Sum Scale" (SS) were equal to 0.21 (standard deviation (SD) = 0.22) and 0.53 (SD = 0.19), respectively. All items had item-total correlations higher than 0.30 except items 7, 11, and 15. For "SS," ICC was obtained as 0.93. EFA revealed a four-factor model accounting for 62.5% of the total variance. All indices were acceptable for the modified DSMQ with four factors (χ

conclusionsThe Persian version of DSMQ was found to have acceptable reliability and validity for assessing self-management among patients with T2DM.
