"You never know what's in front of you": A mixed methods study of barriers and facilitators to physical activity among blind and low-vision adults with type 2 diabetes.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Individuals living with type 2 diabetes and vision loss experience unique, under-researched barriers to physical activity, despite the important role exercise plays in diabetes management. This study examined physical activity participation among blind and low-vision adults with type 2 diabetes (n = 30). Participants, ages 44-83, resided in Bexar County, Texas. Closed-ended surveys (conducted in English or Spanish) were administered to participants, followed by in-depth, semi-structured interviews. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and double-coded. Participants' physical activity levels were determined using the Exercise Behaviors Scale. Data were analyzed using a convergent inductive-deductive design. Consistent with the Social-Ecological Model, five main themes and 11 subthemes emerged, depicting how individual/intrapersonal, interpersonal, institutional/organizational, community, and policy-level factors influenced participants' physical activity participation. These factors can be specifically targeted both at local and broader levels to promote physical activity among individuals with concurrent type 2 diabetes and blindness/vision loss.
