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
purposeFoot care behaviours are considered the first line of defense against diabetic foot complications. In general, preventive behaviours are determined by multiple personal, social and psychological factors. The aim of this study was to assess foot care behaviours and their relation to protection motivation theory among a sample of adults with diabetes in Egypt.
methodsA self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data about foot care practices and protection motivation theory among a random sample of 300 adults with diabetes attending primary health care units in Egypt.
resultsThe results demonstrated that the foot care behaviours were inadequate amongst the sample(mean 5.13 ± 1.92 out of 11). Three constructs of protection motivation theory predicted the behaviours, namely: self-efficacy (
conclusionThere was a low level of foot self-care amongst the sample. Health education programs reinforcing the intention to adhere to foot care behaviours can improve foot care practices among people with diabetes through increasing self-efficacy and perceived seriousness and reducing perceived barriers.
