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

Background: Aging diabetic patients have an increased incidence of hypoglycemia due to long disease history, multiple medications, and other factors. The higher the frequency of hypoglycemia, the greater the fear of it, and the heavier the psychological burden. This fear can have a significant negative impact on the patient's personal psychological distress related to the disease, self-care, and the quality of life of other family members. Therefore, analyzing the factors contributing to the fear of hypoglycemia is crucial for finding effective ways to overcome them. Objective: To analyze the correlation between hypoglycemic fear (FOH), psychological well-being, and family support function in older adults patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods: Seventy-eight older adults patients with DM were recruited from the community for the study. The Chinese version of the hypoglycemia fear survey scale (CHFSII-WS), WHO-5 happiness index scale and family support function scale were used to analyze the influencing factors of FOH in older adults DM patients to clarify the correlation between FOH, psychological well-being, and family support function. Results: Low academic qualification, long course of disease, the frequency of hypoglycemia episodes > 2 in the last one year were the risk factor for FOH in older adults DM patients, and hypoglycemia prevention education, psychological well-being and family support function were protective factors. Family support function had a mediating effect. Conclusion: Older adults patients with DM have higher levels of FOH, which has many influencing factors, and family support function has an obvious mediating effect between FOH and psychological well-being. High-intensity FOH can be improved by actively developing hypoglycemia prevention education for patients and caregivers and improving family support function and psychological well-being.
