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

backgroundDiabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is considered to be a serious acute life-menacing complication of diabetes type (1) and type (2). The study aims to assess the level of awareness regarding DKA among diabetic patients in the Riyadh population. METHODOLOGY: The study is an institution-based cross-sectional study with a sample size of 150 participants. The participants are chosen through systemic random sampling, who have type (1) or type (2) diabetes mellitus patients and are 18-35 years of age. The medical personnel were excluded from the study. A self-administered, precoded, and pretested questionnaire was developed especially for this study after consulting literature and epidemiologists containing data about the risk factor, management, and complication. Data were analyzed using (SPSS). A

results38.67% (58) participants have poor awareness regarding complications, 67.34% (101) have poor knowledge regarding management, and 6% (9) participants have a good knowledge, 38% (57) participants have poor knowledge regarding risk factors and 30% (45) of the participants have good awareness. The relation between having a first degree relative with diabetes and awareness regarding management is significant with a

conclusionThe majority of the participants had a poor level of awareness. There is a relationship between having a first-degree relative with diabetic mellitus and the level of awareness regarding DKA.
