1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has become a global epidemic, where increasing urbanization encourages sedentary lifestyles. Persistent physical inactivity can lead to T2DM and increase the risk of T2DM in the general population. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding exercise amongst T2DM and non-diabetic (ND) staff at a tertiary institution in KwaZulu Natal South Africa. A total of 166 responses were received: a total of 16 responses (9.6%) were T2DM, and 150 responses (90.0%) were non-diabetic (ND). The demographics included 66.3% females and 33.7% males who consented to taking part, 62.7% were black, 18.7% were Indian, 12% were white, 5.4% were colored, and 1.2% were other. A cross-sectional descriptive survey design, utilizing a modified validated online knowledge, attitudes, and practice questionnaire, was used to collect data. Descriptive statistics were used for the analysis: inferential statistics; the ordinal (1-5) Likert scale;
