Factors affecting unmet medical needs of patients with diabetes: A population-based study.
Article in Nursing open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
aimsThe purpose of this study was to identify unmet medical needs and related factors in patients with diabetes.
designA cross-sectional study.
methodsParticipants included 2269 diabetes patients aged >19 years by using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. A complex sample design multiple logistic regression analysis was performed.
resultsThe study found that 8.7% of diabetes patients experienced unmet medical needs, and it was found to be higher for those who thought their self-assessed health status was unhealthy and often felt stressed in their daily life. Gender and education level had a moderating effect on income level on unmet medical needs experience.
conclusionThese findings have important implications for nursing practice in the management of diabetes. Nurses can develop targeted interventions that address the specific needs of patients who are at risk for unmet medical needs, particularly those from low-income backgrounds. By considering the factors that contribute to unmet medical needs and the moderating effect of income level, nurses can improve patient outcomes and reduce the burden of diabetes.
