Internal factors related to self-management among type 2 diabetes patients during the COVID-19 pandemic as humanitarian emergencies: a scoping review protocol.
Article in Systematic reviews, 2025. 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
introductionThe prevalence and mortality rates of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are increasing, making it a significant public health concern. Effective self-management of T2DM requires external factors, such as medical interventions and social support, and internal factors, including self-efficacy. However, during humanitarian emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare system disruptions limit external factors, making internal factors even more critical. Nonetheless, existing reviews have primarily focused on external factors and clinical outcomes during the pandemic, with no comprehensive review examining internal factors. Therefore, this review aims to systematically synthesize evidence on the internal factors supporting T2DM self-management during the COVID-19 pandemic and identify research gaps.
methodsThis scoping review follows the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines and is conducted according to the PRISMA-P framework. A comprehensive search strategy will be employed to systematically explore multiple databases, including PubMed (MEDLINE), CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, ERIC, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Library, as well as gray literature platforms, such as Google, Google Scholar, and Semantic Scholar. The search will include both published and gray literature without language restrictions. Studies that utilize quantitative and qualitative methodologies will also be included. Two independent reviewers will screen titles, abstracts, and full texts for eligibility, and discrepancies will be resolved through discussion or consultation with a third reviewer. The outcomes related to the internal factors contributing to the improvement of self-management among T2DM patients will be extracted and summarized. The findings will be presented descriptively and in tabular form, emphasizing key insights and identifying research gaps in the literature. DISCUSSION: The findings will be actively disseminated through academic conferences and peer-reviewed journals to provide valuable insights into the internal factors that contribute to the improvement of self-management in T2DM patients. These results are expected to contribute to the development of innovative strategies for sustaining and improving self-management in T2DM patients during future humanitarian emergencies and major public health challenges.
