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

Background: Understanding the experiences of patients and health care providers of Diabetes is considered a key element in knowing how to treat and care for the disease. However, few studies have investigated the patients' and health care providers' experiences of diabetes. This study aimed to find how patients with Diabetes and health care providers perceive living with this disease and its treatment and care. Materials and Methods: A descriptive exploratory qualitative research approach was conducted through individual and group interviews with 23 patients with diabetes and health care providers of Isfahan urban health centers in 2020. Purposive sampling was continued until data saturation was reached, and Interview transcripts were analyzed using the conventional content analysis method. Results: Overall, three themes emerged: disease control facilitators (healthy lifestyle, high levels of health literacy, self-care ability, supporting networks, and effective doctor-patient communication), disease control barriers (inadequate social support, misconceptions, patient burnout, low levels of health literacy, economic problems, inability to self-care, and the patient's non-compliance), and annoying consequences of living with diabetes (emotional and psychological problems, unpleasant experiences, and reduced quality of life). Conclusions: Patients with diabetes experience several facilitators and obstacles in controlling their disease and face its complications. There were many myths about treatment. Therefore, health policymakers and planners should plan health-related interventions to remove barriers to disease control and strengthen facilitators for patients with diabetes mellitus.
