Knowledge on diabetes and its related factors among the people with type 2 diabetes in Thailand: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
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
backgroundType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a global public health problem with complications related to knowledge guiding self-care. Limited knowledge might result in poor control of blood glucose, but there is no previous investigation measuring diabetes knowledge in people diagnosed with T2DM in Thailand. This study was aimed to investigate level of diabetes knowledge and related factors among people with T2DM in Thailand.
methodThis cross-sectional study was conducted in a Northeastern province in Thailand among 276 people with T2DM, 195 women and 81 men, using a standardized self-report questionnaire, the Diabetes Knowledge Test. The data were analyzed using Pearson's chi-square test, one-way analysis of variance, and independent samples t-test.
resultsThe majority of respondents had poor diabetes knowledge in all subscales; total knowledge of diabetes (96.7%), general knowledge of diabetes (71.7%), and insulin use knowledge (92.3%). There was no difference found in knowledge scores between males and females. Having finished secondary school education or higher, being employed, or having diabetes-related complications were related to increased total diabetes knowledge and general diabetes knowledge.
conclusionThe people with T2DM had poor diabetes knowledge, and those using insulin also had poor knowledge about the use of insulin.
