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

objectiveExamine the association of household ties with diabetes awareness and self-care behaviors among Hispanic/Latinos. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsData from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos were used (Visit 2; 2014-2017; n = 11,071). Household ties (none, extended, and close), sex, and loneliness were used in a cluster analysis to derive the household clusters. Diabetes awareness and diabetes self-care behaviors (among the aware only) were the outcomes.

resultsClusters that emerged were:(1) Females who rarely feel lonely and who mostly live with close ties; (2) Males who rarely feel lonely and who mostly live with close ties; (3) Males and females who feel lonely despite living with mostly close ties; (4)Males and females who feel lonely and mostly live alone or without familial ties. Cluster 4 had the highest proportion of diagnosed (27%) and undiagnosed diabetes (10%). In regression models, none of the clusters related to diabetes awareness. However, among the aware, glucose monitoring was only significantly higher among cluster 1 relative to cluster 4. Compared to cluster 4, all clusters were significantly more likely to know their HbA1c.

conclusionsHousehold tie clusters were related to diabetes self-care behavior but not awareness.
