Health-Related Quality of Life Using EQ-5D-3L Utility Score Among Type 2 Diabetes Patients: Experiences from Tigray Region, Northern Ethiopia.
Article in Patient preference and adherence, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Purpose: To assess the health-related quality of life and associated factors among type 2 diabetic patients in Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northern Ethiopia, 2019. Patients and Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 415 type 2 diabetic patients coming to receive their routine outpatient follow-up service during the study period, from January 1, 2019, to March 31, 2019, in Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northern Ethiopia. The EQ-5D-3L instrument was used to assess the patients' self-reported health status and a multivariable ordinal logistic regression model was used to determine the independent factors associated with the health-related quality of life and P-value <0.05 was used to declare statistical significance. Results: The total mean quality of life score was 0.73 ± 0.23 with the total quality-adjusted life year of 2172.60 per life years and an average of 7.4 years of follow-up with type 2 diabetic treatments. Quality of life of type 2 diabetic patients with level two and three anxious patients were 77% and almost three times more likely to be affected than level one anxious patients (AOR = 1.77; 95% CI 1.23-1.86) and (AOR = 2.74; 95% CI 1.24-2.84) respectively. Older age, occupational status, lower monthly income, long waiting time, and presence of diabetic complications were significantly associated with impaired health-related quality of life. Conclusion: The results of this study revealed a relatively low health status among type 2 diabetic patients. Quality of life of type 2 diabetic patients was mostly affected in the anxiety and depression component. It could be worthwhile if hospitals assign psychiatric professionals for the regular and effective counseling of diabetic patients.
