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

backgroundFamilial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is an auto inflammatory disease often accompanied by fever and serositis attacks in which peritoneum, pleura, synovium, and rarely pericardium are spared. In the study, the effects of self-efficacy in managing the disease and disease adaptation levels of FMF patients on satisfaction with life were examined.

methodsThis observational cross-sectional study was conducted using a web-based questionnaire sent via Facebook and Instagram FMF groups between February 1, 2024 and April 25, 2024. The population of this study consisted of patients diagnosed with FMF at least 1 year ago in Türkiye.

findingsThe mean self-efficacy score of FMF patients in managing chronic diseases was found to be 4.67. According to the results of the study, physical adaptation was determined to be the highest adaptation in FMF patients. This is followed by psychological adaptation and social adaptation. In general, the scores the patients obtained regarding disease adaptation and its sub-dimensions were found to be close to the average value. The satisfaction with life scores of the patients were found to be below the average.

conclusionThis study revealed that the self-efficacy and disease adaptation levels of FMF patients in Türkiye affect their satisfaction with life.
