Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesThe prevalence of type 2 diabetes and smoking is increasing in developing countries and is associated with deteriorated health outcomes. Also, addiction to smartphone use is an alarming behavior that can be associated with clinical factors. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and clinical correlates of smartphone addiction in smokers with T2DM in Jordan, with a particular focus on the role of medications.
methodsThis cross-sectional study recruited patients from Prince Hamza Hospital, Jordan, according to pre-defined criteria. Besides demographics and clinical information, this study used the validated Arabic version of the Smartphone Addiction Scale to assess addiction to smartphones and a multivariable regression analysis to identify the correlates of smartphone addiction.
resultsData analyzed from 346 patients revealed that 117 (33.8%) of these participants reported addiction to smartphones. Patients who had been diagnosed with T2DM for less than five years (aOR = 3.30; 95% CI = 1.43-7.60), who were "employed" (aOR = 8.85; 95% CI = 2.20-35.64), and who were "retired" (aOR = 11.46; 95% CI = 2.72-48.23) all reported a significantly (
conclusionThese alarming results require adequate action from the health authorities to raise awareness of adopting positive behaviors that could improve the well-being of this high-risk population.
