1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) is essential for effective diabetes care but remains underexplored in China. This study assessed healthcare professionals' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding DSMES to optimize clinical implementation. From May 20 to August 6, 2024, a cross-sectional online survey was conducted among healthcare professionals at West China Hospital, Sichuan University, and affiliated institutions. Among 347 respondents (56.77% female), the average scores were 8.94 ± 0.27 for knowledge, 36.09 ± 3.61 for attitude, and 46.39 ± 4.34 for practice. Correlation analysis revealed a negative association between knowledge and attitude (r = - 0.139, p = 0.010) and a positive association between attitude and practice (r = 0.361, p < 0.001). Structural equation modeling revealed a negative direct effect of knowledge on attitude (β = - 0.156, p = 0.025), a positive direct effect of attitude on practice (β = 0.481, p = 0.007), and an indirect effect of knowledge on practice via attitude (β = - 0.075, p = 0.016). While healthcare professionals showed strong DSMES-related knowledge, gaps in attitude and behavioral consistency remain. Targeted strategies-such as interdisciplinary DSMES workshops and feedback-based practice evaluations-are recommended to enhance clinical implementation.
