Patient Preferences for Pharmacological Diabetes Treatment Among People with Diabetes in Spain: A Discrete Choice Experiment.
Article in Diabetes therapy : research, treatment and education of diabetes and related disorders, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionThe aim of the project was to describe the preferences related to the medication attributes of people with diabetes mellitus (DM) treated in Spain.
methodsThe project was carried out in four different phases. In phase A, a Steering Committee defined and selected a total of 18 attributes for treating DM and grouped them into four categories: health outcomes, adverse events, treatment characteristics and cost of treatment. In phase B, a questionnaire according to a discrete choice experiment (DCE) methodology was developed. In phase C, the online DCE survey was sent to members of associations of people with DM from the Spanish Diabetes Federation (FEDE). Finally, in phase D, the results were discussed in a deliberative process.
resultsOf the 238 participants who completed the questionnaire (May-September 2020), 231 were included (mean age, 58 years; males, 62%). The DCE results showed that the best-valued category was health outcomes (39.67%), followed by adverse events (26.85%), treatment characteristics (21.70%) and treatment costs (11.77%). Ten of 18 attributes had a significant effect on participants' choice (p < 0.05) and the highest relative importance value: blood pressure reduction (12.82%), hypoglycaemia (12.77%), HbA
conclusionsPeople with DM prefer a treatment that generates benefits in measurable health effects (reducing blood pressure and HbA
