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
backgroundPeople with diabetes are proving to be at higher risk of severe coronavirus infection than the general population. Non-adherence to dietary recommendation is a critical problem in individuals with type 2 diabetes; particularly, in the era of coronavirus. This study aimed to explore determinants that affect adherence to the recommendations of diet during coronavirus pandemic.
objectiveThis study aimed to determine dietary adherence among diabetes type 2 patients aimed at coronavirus pandemic and its associated factors.
methodsAn institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted among type 2 diabetes patients on follow-up. Systematic random sampling was employed to get representative study participants. Dietary adherence was dichotomized and with logistic regression analysis to assess the association between dependent and explanatory variables. The degree of association was interpreted by using both crude odds ratios and adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals and P-values <0.05 were considered statistically significant.
resultsIn this study, 576 participants took part with a 99.3% response rate. The dietary adherence was found to be 48.3% with [95% CI (44.1-52.4)]. The educational level of College and above was [AOR=3.64, 95% CI (1.59-8.34)], being a government-employed [AOR=2.38, 95% CI (1.13-4.99)], being urban [AOR=1.30, 95% CI (1.09-2.42)], family size of less than five [AOR=1.27, 95% CI (1.08-1.97)], medium level of wealth-status[AOR=2.26, 95% CI (1.67-4.54)], family history of diabetes [AOR=2.18, 95% CI (1.14-4.19)], duration of diabetes more than 15 years [AOR=5.39, 95% CI (1.57-18.52)], and knowledge related to coronavirus [AOR=4.33,95% CI (2.71-6.92)] were significantly associated with adherence to the dietary recommendation.
conclusionThe dietary adherence was relatively low aimed at coronavirus pandemic. Knowledge about COVID-19 was found significantly associated with dietary adherence. RECOMMENDATIONS: There has to be a strong commitment to aware the community to minimize the risk of coronavirus severity among diabetes patients.
