Clinical factors influencing knowledge and self-care practice among adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Article in Nursing open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
aimThe objective of the study was to determine the clinical factors associated with knowledge and self-care practice among adults living with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
designDescriptive cross-sectional design.
methodsA convenience sample of 330 participants was recruited over 3-months in 2018 and data were collected using a structured instrument.
resultsParticipants on insulin treatment modality had four times higher odds of knowledge on diabetes (B = 4.17, p = 0.023) while those on combined therapy (both oral hypoglycaemic agent and insulin) had 7.26 times higher odds of knowledge (B = 7.26, p < 0.001). Participants without medically confirmed diabetic complications had 3.66 higher odds of knowledge of diabetes (B = 3.66, p = 0.002). Participants on insulin treatment modality had a 1.4-fold higher odds of self-care practice (B = 1.4, p = 0.028). It was revealed that participants with hypertension and diabetic foot had lower odds of self-care practice (B = -1.13, p = 0.021).
conclusionIn particular, participants who were on insulin and combined therapy (tablet and insulin) had higher knowledge and better self-care practice. Self-care was significantly influenced among those with, than those without diabetic foot and hypertension as complications.
