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 (DSM) is the cornerstone in diabetes mellitus (DM) management. Unfortunately, the practice of DSM by Iraqi type 2 DM (T2DM) patients is poor that mainly resulted from their poor knowledge about the required DSM behaviors. This lack of knowledge may be attributed to the lack of DSM education and support (DSMES) program in Iraq. Thus, this study was conducted with aim of developing and validating a culturally specific DSMES program for Iraqi T2DM patients. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe development and validation of the DSMES program was done according to the Hilda Taba model. Content validity of the program was done by a panel of 6 health-care experts in management of Iraqi DM patients. Face validity was confirmed by conducting a pilot study for six adults with uncontrolled T2DM at the National Diabetes Center, Baghdad, Iraq. Both the experts and patients were asked to evaluate the developed program in regard to its contents, design, and supporting material (booklet). The evaluation was done by filling in a questionnaire that based on a 5-point scale. Items with a score ≥4 by <70% of the experts and patients were subjected to revision and further assessment.

resultsNo total disagreement for any item was expressed by all participants (experts and patients). Content and face validity was ensured through obtaining a positive feedback from all participants at which all items about the program had scores of ≥4 by at least 75% of participants.

conclusionThe developed culturally based DSMES program is highly suitable for educating Iraqi T2DM patients.
