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
backgroundPatient-centred care is essential for managing Type 2 diabetes, as it relies on understanding patients' experiences and perspectives. However, in Thailand, no culturally adapted patient-reported experience measure (PREM) exists to capture these insights and support quality improvement in diabetes care.
objectiveTo develop and validate a culturally adapted PREM for Thai people with Type 2 diabetes receiving primary care.
methodsThis mixed-methods study was conducted at Saraphi Hospital, Chiang Mai, from July to December 2024. Stage 1 involved drafting the initial PREM based on a prior scoping review. In Stage 2, content validity was assessed by experts, and face validity was evaluated through patient interviews. Stage 3 involved a quantitative survey of patients to assess construct validity and reliability using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses.
resultsThe initial PREM included 37 items across four domains, developed based on findings from the scoping review. After expert and patient feedback, the tool was refined. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses confirmed the tool's structure, resulting in a final version with 16 items across four domains: care planning, patient education, professionalism and quality of service. This final PREM structure explained 60.1% of overall variance, and demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha of 0.84), supporting its utility for capturing patient experiences in the Thai healthcare setting.
conclusionThis study developed the first culturally adapted PREM for Thai people living with diabetes. Although further implementation is needed, this current validated tool can support patient-centred care in Thailand and other low- and middle-income settings in Southeast Asia. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: The development of this instrument actively involved patients throughout key stages. During content validation, individuals living with diabetes participated in an expert panel and provided feedback on item clarity, relevance and comprehensiveness. Their suggestions directly influenced revisions to the questionnaire. For face validity, a pilot test was conducted with patients in a primary care setting, gathering their insights on wording, usability and cultural appropriateness. Their contributions ensured the tool was clear, acceptable and contextually relevant to Thai people living with diabetes.
