Exploring the relationships between self-efficacy, self-care, and glycaemic control in primary care diabetes management.

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
Objectives: Our study aimed to identify the complex interplay between self-efficacy, self-care practice, and glycaemic control among people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (PWDs) to inform the design of more targeted and effective behavioural interventions in primary care. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was performed with 294 PWDs managed in primary care. The Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale (DMSES) and Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) questionnaire measured patients' self-efficacy and self-care practice. Multivariate logistic regression models were developed to explore how SDSCA, DMSES, and their combined effect relate to glycaemic control, adjusting for patient characteristics. Network analysis in R software examined relationships between self-efficacy and self-care dimensions across glycaemic control subgroups using a Gaussian graphical model with the extended Bayesian information criterion. Results: Half the PWDs (50.7%) had suboptimal glycaemic control. Better glycaemic control was consistently associated with higher self-efficacy (odds ratio (OR) = 0.76, 95% confidence (CI) (0.60, 0.97), Conclusions: Our study highlights the critical role of self-efficacy in diabetes primary care. For people with optimal glycaemic control, prioritising self-efficacy in diet adherence is crucial for sustaining glycaemic outcomes and supporting other self-care behaviours. Among those with suboptimal glycaemic control, enhancing self-efficacy in exercise, blood glucose monitoring, and foot care is essential. Targeted education programs, personalised counselling, and E-health tools can further empower patients to manage their diabetes more effectively.
