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

The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of knowledge and practice on the fasting blood glucose of diabetic patients during the month of Ramadan. The simple random sampling technique was used to calculate sample size and the computed sample size was 112. Participants were recruited from the diabetic outpatient clinics at King Fahad Hospital of the University, Dammam, Saudi Arabia. The participants included male and female adults with either type 1 or 2 diabetes, aged 15-70 years. Children, pregnant women, and those who were unable to complete at least 3 weeks of fasting during the study period were excluded from the study. Fasting blood glucose reading of the participants was extracted during Ramadan and in Shawwal (after 30 days) and a first-visit questionnaire related to the knowledge and practice was provided to them. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (version 22) was used for data entry and analysis. A two way ANOVA test, two independent sample
