Association between Self-Care Behaviors and Inadequate Glycemic Control in ELSA-Brasil Participants with Type 2 Diabetes.
Article in Arquivos brasileiros de cardiologia, 2025. 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
backgroundType 2 diabetes is a prevalent chronic condition, often associated with metabolic and cardiovascular complications.
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the association between self-care behaviors, such as consumption of ultra-processed foods, vegetables, greens and fruits, physical activity, adherence to pharmacological treatment and smoking, and inadequate glycemic control in ELSA-Brasil participants with type 2 diabetes.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional study with 2,567 individuals, in which the associations between the variables of interest were analyzed by multiple logistic regression (p<0.05).
resultsAdherence to pharmacological treatment was the only behavior consistently associated with inadequate glycemic control. Participants with low adherence were more than twice as likely to have inadequate levels of glycated hemoglobin (OR: 2.09; 95%CI 1.14-4.10). Consumption of ultra-processed foods and insufficient intake of leafy vegetables showed initial associations that did not remain significant after adjustments, suggesting the influence of additional factors, such as socioeconomic conditions.
conclusionThese results reinforce the need for interventions that combine health education, self-care support and public policies aimed at equality of treatment access, contributing to glycemic control and the reduction of complications associated with type 2 diabetes.
