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.

Out of 66 patients, 38 were diabetic and 28 were non diabetic. Majority 23(34.8%) were stage-3a and 23(34.8%) were stage-4 followed by stage-3b in 14(21.2%), stage-2 in 3(4.5%) and stage-5 in 3(4.5%) patients respectively. Statistically significant improvement in pre and post Ramadan values of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, serum creatinine and uric acid levels were found in both diabetic and non-diabetic group (P value <0.0001).
