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

This study aims to analyze variables related to patient activation in 78 individuals with visual impairment. The Patient Activation Measure (PAM) scores of participants showed no differences between males and females. It was found that the individuals living in urban areas, and participants with higher income and education levels had higher PAM scores. Still, the difference between the groups was statistically insignificant (p > 0.05). The PAM scores of the visually impaired individuals reflect taking action level of activation (66.51 ± 18.14-PAM level 3). There was a moderately significant relationship between PAM scores and visually impaired individuals' self-management, self-efficacy, healthy life awareness, social relations, and environment (p < 0.001). We found that the variables included in the regression model (marital status, self-management, self-efficacy, healthy life awareness, social relations, and environment) explained 72.2% of the PAM score. Individuals with visual impairment can be given training on self-management, self-efficacy, healthy life awareness, and quality of life associated with social relations and environment to develop positive health behaviors.
