Diabetes Self-Efficacy on Glycemic Control and Well-Being of Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: An Analytical Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
introductionDiabetes mellitus is a major, chronic, and progressive lifestyle disease. It adversely affects patients' quality of life, effectiveness, and well-being. Self-care practices are universally recognized as imperative to keep the illness under control and prevent complications. Self-efficacy is one of the factors involved in the successful self-care of diabetic patients. The primary objective of the study was to estimate the proportion of diabetes self-efficacy and to assess the correlation of diabetes self-efficacy with glycemic control, and the well-being of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The secondary objective was to assess the factors associated with diabetes self-efficacy.
methodsAn analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among T2DM patients attending the non-communicable disease clinic in the outreach centers of Government Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India. Four hundred patients with T2DM were included in the study. Diabetes self-efficacy was assessed by the Stanford Diabetes Self-Efficacy Scale and the WHO-5 index scale was used to assess wellbeing. Glycemic control was determined by HbA1C estimation, with ≤7% as good control.
resultsAmong 400 patients with T2DM, 51.25 % (95% CI: 46.2-56.2) had high diabetes self-efficacy. A significantly negative correlation was found between HbA1C and self-efficacy (r =- 0.208, p = 0.01), and a positive correlation was shown between well-being and self-efficacy (r = 0.418, p = 0.01). Logistic regression analysis found that factors associated with diabetes self-efficacy were upper socioeconomic status (OR = 8.53, 95% CI: 3.06-13.82), family support (OR = 1.97, 95% CI: 1.10-3.54), participation in diabetes education classes (OR = 1.95, 95% CI: 1.10-3.54), diet compliance (OR = 4.74, 95% CI: 2.80-8.01), glycemic control (OR = 1.69, 95% CI: 1.01-2.84), and overall wellbeing (OR = 6.7, 95% CI: 3.84-11.64).
conclusionThe proportion of high diabetes self-efficacy was 51.25% (95% CI: 46.2-56.2). The factors associated with diabetes self-efficacy were family support, participation in diabetes education classes, high socioeconomic status, absence of complications, good glycemic control, and well-being. The study findings depicted that high self-efficacy was significantly correlated with good glycemic control and well-being of patients with T2DM.
