Health care access and health-related quality of life among people with diabetes in the Southern Cone of Latin America-a cross-sectional analysis of data of the CESCAS I study.

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
purposeLittle is known on the association of health care access and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in people with diabetes in the Southern Cone of Latin America (SCLA).
methodsWe analyzed data of 1025 participants of CESCAS I. To determine HRQoL, we used the SF-12 physical (PCS-12) and mental component summary (MCS-12). We compared four groups regarding HRQoL: (a) insured people without self-reported barriers to health care, (b) uninsured people without self-reported barriers to health care, (c) insured people with self-reported barriers to health care, and (d) uninsured people with self-reported barriers to health care. We conducted linear regressions with PCS-12 and MCS-12 as outcome. We adjusted for sociodemographic and disease-related factors and having access to a primary physician.
resultsIn the first group, there were 407, in the second 471, in the third 44, and in the fourth group 103 participants. Compared to the first group, PCS-12 was 1.9 points lower (95% Confidence Interval, CI: - 3.5, - 0.3) in the second, 4.5 points (95% CI: - 8.1, - 1) lower in the third, and 6.1 points lower (95% CI: - 8.7, - 3.6) in the fourth group. Compared to the first group, MCS-12 was 0.6 points lower (95% CI: - 2.7, 1.4) in the second, 4.8 points lower (95% CI: - 9.3, - 0.3) in the third, and 5.8 points lower (95% CI: - 9.1, - 2.5) in the fourth group.
conclusionIn the SCLA, impeded access to care is common in people with diabetes. Self-reported barriers to care may be more important than insurance status in determining HRQoL.
