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
purposeTo assess Self-care and related factors in patients with type II diabetes in Iran.
methodsThis descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on 100 patients with type II diabetes who were referred to specialized diabetes centers related to Arak University of Medical Sciences in Iran. Data collection was done using a researcher-made questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of three parts (the first part was demographic information, the second part was self-care behaviors such as diet, exercise, control, treatment, and prevention of complications over the past seven days, and the third part was factors influencing patients' self-care behaviors). The inclusion criteria were; patients 18-80 years of age with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, at least one year passed of diabetes diagnosis, no chronic diseases other than those related to diabetes, had awareness of the diagnosis, had no hearing and speech impairments, and no mental illnesses. The exclusion criteria was the patient's failure to answer all questions of the questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software version 16, and using descriptive statistics and Pearson test, independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance and Spearman test.
resultsThe mean score of self-care in patients was 84.41 ± 11.75 and at the intermediate level. Spearman correlation coefficient test results showed a significant relationship between self-care behavior and gender (
conclusionDue to the low self-care score in exercise and physical activity and the lack of periodic renal examinations, planning and educational interventions in all aspects of self-care, especially in terms of sports and physical activity, and periodic renal examinations are essential.
