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

aimsTo develop a comprehensive, in-depth understanding of the impacts of hypoglycaemia on the quality of life of adults living with type 1 (T1D) or type 2 diabetes (T2D).

methodsThirty-one adults with T1D or T2D who experienced hypoglycaemia participated in semi-structured interviews. Participants were purposively sampled by age, sex and type/duration of diabetes. Informed by a health-related quality of life (HRQoL) framework and literature review, an interview guide explored hypoglycaemia-related impacts on quality of life. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed using Framework Analysis.

resultsImpacts were coded within three overall themes (physical, psychological and social) comprising 38 subthemes. Of the 11 physical subthemes, the most discussed were sleep, physiological symptoms, leisure and exercise, eating and drinking. Of the 18 psychological subthemes, the most discussed included: awareness; cognitive burden and planning; self management and coping; worry and anxiety; autonomy, independence and control. Of the nine social subthemes, the most discussed were impacts on others and relationship with partner.

conclusionsA novel HRQoL framework highlights a comprehensive range of impacts of hypoglycaemia on physical, psychological and social functioning of people living with diabetes. These findings offer insights for clinicians, researchers and other interested parties seeking to benefit person-centred outcomes, such as quality of life.
