Article in Therapeutic advances in endocrinology and metabolism, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02730078 (The Effectiveness of a Value-based Emotion-focused Educational Programme to Reduce Diabetes-related Distress in Malay Adults With Type 2 Diabetes), which is not on this map.

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

Abstract
backgroundDiabetes distress (DD) is an increasingly important part of clinical medicine, diabetes self-management and research topic in people with diabetes mellitus. The present study evaluated the effectiveness of a value-based emotion-focused educational program in Malay adults with type 2 diabetes (VEMOFIT) at 12-month follow-up compared with a program with systematic attention to participants' emotions (attention-control).
methodsVEMOFIT consisted of four biweekly group sessions and a booster session after 3 months; the attention-control program consisted of three sessions over the same period. Intention-to-treat analysis with multilevel mixed modelling was done to estimate the intervention effect.
resultsParticipants (
conclusionsBecause the attention-control program resulted in a decreased DD 1 year later, its implementation on a larger scale seems justified.
