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.

Abstract
Background: Risk of diabetes continues to increase worldwide due to population growth, urbanization. Little is known regarding the health related quality of life (HRQoL) among diabetes mellitus in India. Identifying factors influencing HRQoL could help us to form strategies for better control of diabetes. Material and Methods: To measure the quality of life among men with type 2 diabetes mellitus residing in the rural field practice area of a teaching hospital in Coimbatore and to determine sociodemographic as well as diabetes and sexual related characteristics associated with poor quality of life. This study was conducted in the rural field catchment area by enrolling 443 adult males with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The data was collected from the blood investigation reports and by face-to-face interviews using a Semi-structured. Quality of Life was assessed using the European quality of life five-dimension scale (EQ 5D 3L). A question on erectile dysfunction was also included. Logistic regression models were used to investigate the factors associated with it. Results: Patients reported "some or extreme problems" most frequently in pain/discomfort (34.8%), and in anxiety/depression (27.7%) dimensions. Older age, long duration of diabetes, having co-morbid conditions were significantly associated ( Conclusion: The study results indicated that patients with diabetes suffer from a relatively poor quality of life. More attention should be paid to the determinants of the poor quality of life. It is recommended that factors leading to derangement of quality of life as well as causing sexual dysfunction have to be addressed by the primary health care providers for the improvement of the quality of life of diabetic patients attending the primary health care center.
