A hospital-based assessment of glycemic control and medication adherence in type 2 diabetes mellitus in Eastern Nepal.

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
Background: Poor glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) causes damage to various organs and leads to the development of disabling and life-threatening complications. Objectives: To find out the prevalence of glycemic control and medication adherence (MA) and the factors affecting them. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among patients with T2DM. The patients were categorized as good glycemic control (HbA Results: Of 129 patients, 65 (50.39%) were females. The mean age was 48.33 ± 12.86 years. The combination of metformin and glimepiride was prescribed to 37 (28.68%) patients. Diabetic knowledge was poor in 84 (65.12%) patients. Glycemic control was good in 108 (83.72%) patients. MA was medium in 72 (55.81%) patients. Patients taking regular fruit, having shorter duration of drug therapy, and having good diabetic knowledge had good glycemic control and were statistically significant ( Conclusion: The majority of the diabetic patients had good glycemic control and medium MA. Patients taking regular fruit, being involved in daily jogging, having a shorter duration of drug therapy, and having good diabetic knowledge were identified as factors that affect both glycemic control and MA.
