Evaluation of Diabetes Self-Care Activities and Glycemic Control Profiles in People With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Article in Health science reports, 2026. 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 and Aims: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic endocrine disorder requiring long-term medication therapy. In addition to medication therapy, appropriate diabetes self-care activities are crucial for the management and prevention of complications of diabetes mellitus. The study aims to investigate diabetes self-care activity and explore its relationship with patients' characteristics and glycemic control profiles among individuals with type 2 diabetes. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among type 2 diabetic patients visiting Purbanchal University Hospital from January to March 2024. The Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ) was used to assess diabetes self-care activities. The patient's glycemic profiles were evaluated based on control of fasting blood sugar (FBS), post-prandial blood sugar (PPBS), and glycated hemoglobin value (HbA1C) levels. Chi-square and Mann-Whitney Results: A total of 139 patients participated in the study, of whom the majority were male (54.7%) and aged ≤ 60 years (64.7%). Despite receiving diabetic medication, 54.7% of patients exhibited elevated fasting blood glucose ( ≥ 126 mg/dL), and 57% had HbA1c levels > 7%, indicating poor glycemic control. The average score for self-care activities, assessed using the 10-point DSMQ scale, was 5.45 ± 1.17, reflecting limited engagement in diabetes self-care. Smoking habits were significantly associated with elevated HbA1c levels ( Conclusion: Although patients were on medication, the majority exhibited poor glycemic control, compounded by limited self-care activities. Enhanced diabetic self-care practices, such as physical activity, glucose management, and dietary control, could significantly improve glycemic control in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
