An evaluation of the quality care for type 2 diabetes patients in the primary healthcare using the lot quality assurance sampling technique.
Article in BMC health services research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundDiabetes is the most prevalent metabolic disease globally. Correct and effective healthcare management requires up-to-date and accurate information at the local level. This level of information allows managers to determine whether the health system has achieved its desired goals in this area. This study aimed to evaluate the adequacy and quality of care for Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients using the Lot quality assurance sampling (LQAS) technique to provide evidence for decision-making at the local level, prioritizing and allocating resources.
methodsA descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 12 supervision areas (SAs)/health facilities in northwestern Iran involving 240 patients with T2DM in primary health care. The selection of patients and determination of SAs were done randomly using the LQAS technique. Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA
resultsThe overall average of HbA1c value was 7.84%. The HbA
conclusionsThe quality of care for diabetic patients needs improvement in some SAs. Findings indicated that the LQAS technique effectively identifies centers/areas with substandard diabetes care quality and efficiently allocates resources to those in need. It is recommended to implement corrective measures in areas with inadequate care quality.
