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

Introduction: Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world. Diabetes has a major impact on the quality of life of patients. The purpose of this study is the relationship between the duration of diabetes and dimensions of general health and quality of life associated with the health of diabetic patients. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional-analytical study, diabetic patients with more than 1-year history who were not suffering from other chronic diseases were included in the study. Then, using 15 questions for diabetes quality of life, questionnaires and GHQ28 general health were investigated in terms of quality of life and general health. The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS version 24 software. Results: The average age was equal to 42.8 ± 14.4 years (with a median of 40 years). The average duration of the disease in the patients was equal to 7.7 ± 7.2 years (with a median of 5 years). The average quality of life score of the patients was equal to 50.3 ± 7.8 (out of 75). A negative and significant correlation between age and quality of life of patients was observed ( Discussion and Conclusion: The duration of diabetes disease affects the quality of life and general health of diabetic patients, and discomfort, depression, and anxiety are the main problems that affect the quality of life of diabetic patients.
