Outcome tools for diabetes-specific quality of life: Study performed in a private family practice clinic.
Article in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
objectiveTo critically review and evaluate the psychometric properties and practical considerations of administering generic and diabetes-specific quality-of-life (QoL) tools in the clinical environment and provide recommendations. DATA SOURCES AND TOOL SELECTION: A MEDLINE search was carried out from January 1950 to August 2015 using the MeSH terms SYNTHESIS: The SF-36 is one of the most widely used general health measures in QoL research and it has proven reliability and validity. However, the SF-12 is a better option for a family practice owing to its shorter length. The SF-12 has been shown to be closely correlated with the SF-36. Of the diabetes-specific measures, the ADS is known be valid, short, and relatively straightforward in terms of scoring, thereby increasing its usefulness in routine clinical practice. The Audit of Diabetes-Dependent Quality of Life and Diabetes Quality of Life tools have been widely tested and have generally been found to be more valid and reliable than the ADS, but specific issues with feasibility make them unappealing for the clinical setting. The rationale was to find the most rigorously tested instrument within the scientific literature in terms of validity, reliability, and responsiveness. However, this was not done, as judging the quality of a measure is not simply a matter of determining its psychometric properties but rather requires qualitative judgment about the entirety of the evidence.
conclusionFinding ideal tools and procedures for routine data collection in the clinic setting requires organization and groundwork that will eventually assist both clinicians and researchers by providing reliable information on QoL for patients with diabetes. Further research is necessary to assess the validity and responsiveness of these tools specifically relating to evaluation of QoL for those with diabetes.
