Early Predictors of Quality of Life among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Southern Jordan.
Article in SAGE open nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is highly prevalent worldwide and especially in Jordan, presenting a significant challenge in mitigating its associated complications, thereby emphasizing the need for effective management strategies. Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate early predictors of quality of life (QOL) among patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Southern Jordan, focusing on examining the relationships and associations between diabetes self-efficacy, glycemic control, and diabetes self-care with QOL. Methodology: The study adopted a cross-sectional approach conducted within Southern Jordan, employing a convenience sampling method. Participants were chosen based on their availability and willingness to take part. The study encompassed a sample size of 204 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The study utilized the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire and the Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale to assess diabetic patients' self-care levels and self-efficacy, respectively. Data collection spanned from 1 February to 15 May 2023. Results: Patients demonstrated suboptimal self-care and low self-efficacy. Significant positive correlations were found between QOL dimensions, self-management, and self-efficacy. Predictors for Type 2 Diabetes Miletus (T2DM) patients' QOL were identified. For physical health, factors such as gender, comorbidities, age, occupation, location, self-care behaviors, and self-efficacy influenced QOL. Similar predictors were found for psychological, social, and environmental health dimensions, including gender, comorbidities, HbA1c levels, city of residence, marital status, and income, as well as self-care behaviors and self-efficacy. Conclusions: The study findings underscore the importance of targeted interventions to improve the QOL for individuals with T2DMin Southern Jordan.
