The Relationship Between Fatalism and Diabetes Self-Management Outcomes in Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Literature Review.
Synthesis in Journal of religion and health, 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
This systematic review synthesizes evidence regarding the relationship between fatalism and diabetes self-management outcomes in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A systematic search, adhering to PRISMA guidelines, was conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, EBSCO, and ProQuest databases. Ten studies met the inclusion criteria. A consensus emerged regarding a negative association between fatalism and glycemic control; however, the relationships with diet, foot care, medication adherence, and blood glucose monitoring were inconclusive. This review highlights the significant association between fatalism and glycemic control, as well as the role of religiosity/spirituality in shaping fatalistic beliefs. These findings underscore the importance of considering this relationship in personalized T2DM treatment plans. Future research should standardize fatalism measures, employ interventional designs, comprehensively assess diabetes self-management outcomes, and include diverse populations to develop culturally responsive care strategies that potentially leverage religiosity as an adaptive coping resource rather than a barrier to self-management.
