Enduring Inequality in Diabetes and Hypertension Management in Thai Prisons: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Journal of patient experience, 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
For individuals in prisons, the management of diabetes and hypertension is resource-intensive and presents substantial challenges. This qualitative descriptive study explored the experiences of incarcerated individuals in accessing health-care resources for these conditions. In total, 60 participants (mean age = 44.3 ± 12.6 years), including 30 individuals at risk for and 30 diagnosed with diabetes and hypertension, were purposively enrolled by prison nurses. Data were collected through 12 focus group discussions and nonparticipatory observations conducted in 6 prisons in Thailand between September and December 2023. The data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis framework. The findings revealed 3 key themes: "resource constraints," reflecting struggles with inadequate provisions (such as dietary ones); "neglect," reflecting inequalities in diabetes and hypertension screening and limited clinical monitoring; and "self-reliance," reflecting how participants coped with stress and managed life-threatening situations on their own. In conclusion, the study highlights substantial inequalities in diabetes and hypertension management in prisons. Targeted strategies are urgently needed to improve chronic disease management in prison settings.
