Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
INTRODUCTION AND
objectivesDiabetic foot is the most common complication among 50% diabetic patients. Evidence exists that with the self-care, the incidence of foot ulcers and toe amputation can be decreased significantly. Hence, the current study was planned to assess knowledge and foot care practice among diabetic patients attending primary care centre in Saudi Arabia. METHODOLOGY: This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted at a Primary Care Center in Security Forces Hospital of Riyadh. Consecutive sampling was used to enrol 350 diabetic patients. Information on demographics, knowledge and practice of footcare was collected through standardized and pre-tested self-administered questionnaire. Data were entered and analysed using SPSS V 22.0 software.
resultsOut of 350 patients aged 18 years and more, 170 (46.7%) belonged to age group of 46-60 years; mostly males (
conclusionsBoth knowledge and practice levels were low among diabetic patients which needs to be strengthened through regular counselling sessions. There is a pressing need to spread awareness on this important aspect of morbidity and mortality which can be addressed with minimal resources.
