Quality of life in patients with diabetes in a Rural Health and Training Centre.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 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
Introduction: Diabetes is one of the chronic noncommunicable diseases that degrade the quality of life. Aims: To assess the quality of life among people aged 30 to 60 years with diabetes attending a Rural Health and Training Centre (RHTC). Settings and Design: This cross-sectional study was conducted in an RHTC of a medical college. Methods and Material: This cross-sectional study was conducted in an RHTC of a medical college to assess the quality of life (QOL) of diabetic patients aged between 30 and 60 years attending a diabetic clinic. IEC approval was obtained. Informed consent was obtained. The data were collected after interviewing 157 participants with a semistructured questionnaire. QOL was assessed using the World Health Organization's Quality Of Life Questionnaire - short version (WHOQOL-BREF). Statistical Analysis Used: The entire collected data were first added to Microsoft Excel. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows version 16.0 was used for data analysis. Results: The interview was conducted among 157 patients; the majority of them were females, literate, married, and unemployed. The mean ± SD for the physical domain were 56.67 ± 13.73; for the psychological domain, the scores were 62.36 ± 9.58; for the social domain, the scores were 52.05 ± 16.40; and the environmental domain scores were 60.88 ± 8.97. Conclusions: The study shows the impact of diabetes mellitus on QOL. Further improvements are needed with proper treatment regimens and good control of blood sugars to improve the overall QOL of diabetic patients.
