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
purposeA large percentage of side effects and problems associated with diabetes including social stigma interfere with health promotion behaviors in people with diabetes, minimize their social interactions, and indeed prevent them from asking for help regarding treatments and follow-up care services. Therefore, the present study was to elucidate the relationship between perceived social stigma (PSS) and diabetes self-care (DSC) activities in Iranian participants with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
methodsThis correlational study was fulfilled on 135 participants with T1D in the city of Tabriz, Iran, selected through the convenience sampling method. The data were collected via the Demographic and Clinical Data Collection Form, the Type 1 Diabetes Stigma Assessment Scale (DSAS-1), and the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities Questionnaire (SDSCAQ). The data were analyzed using the SPSS Statistics software (Version 16) incorporating descriptive and analytical statistics.
resultsThe results revealed that the total score mean of PSS in the study participants was 51.43±12.16, which was at a moderate level. As well, the mean score of the DSC activities was 37.93±11.26. As a whole, no significant relationship was observed between the PSS and the DSC activities.
conclusionAccording to the study findings, the PSS was not significantly correlated with the DSC activities; however, both variables in most study participants were at moderate levels. Therefore, further studies on the factors associated with the social stigma of diabetes are necessary. Knowing these factors can help treatment team plan to reduce the diabetes stigma and improve people with diabetes' self-care.
