Article in Daru : journal of Faculty of Pharmacy, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Management of fasting patients with diabetes during Ramadan has always posed a great challenge on clinicians. This year, Ramadan has coincided with the Covid-19 pandemic which per se can complicate diabetes care. Although patients with diabetes should be generally discouraged from fasting, those who insist to fact during the current Covid-19 pandemic should undergo strict risk assessment and receive thorough education. In patients with type 2 diabetes, administered antidiabetics and their dose should be modified to minimize the risk of hypoglycemia and dehydration. In type 1 diabetic patients, insulin dose and it timing should be precisely calculated based on regular and rigorous blood glucose monitoring. Nonetheless, it would be prudent to generally discourage patients with diabetes form fasting this Ramadan to avoid the risk of life-threatening complications such severe dehydration and ensuing kidney damage.
