Confidence to Self-Manage in Diabetes: An All-Wales Cross-Sectional Population Study.
Article in Journal of diabetes research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionDiabetes is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Wales, and concerningly, the prevalence of diabetes and the associated healthcare costs continue to rise. Effective self-management is essential in diabetes care to avoid poor outcomes; however, little is known about how confidence to self-manage impacts outcomes. RESEARCH AND
designThis study examines the association between confidence to self-manage and wellbeing and emergency and elective admissions in a large sample of people with diabetes surveyed in Wales over the age of 45 years (N = 2941). Where possible, multilevel regression modelling was used to account for patients being nested within GP practises; otherwise, logistic regression modelling was applied.
resultsAfter controlling for various individual and situational factors, confidence to self-manage was found to be strongly associated with better wellbeing (B = 12.43; 95% CI: 11.19-13.67) and with reduced odds of having an emergency hospital admission (OR = 0.79; 95% CI: 0.65-0.95) but not an elective hospital admission (OR = 0.95; 95% CI: 0.81-1.13) in the year following survey completion. Other individual level factors such as being unable to work and having more chronic conditions were associated with poorer wellbeing and having an emergency admission.
conclusionsThese findings indicate that higher levels of confidence to self-manage were associated with better wellbeing and reduced odds of emergency hospital admission among diabetic people aged over 45 years in Wales. Therefore, healthcare providers, policymakers and patients should engage with and develop strategies to enhance confidence and self-management in diabetes.
