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
objectivesIt is essential to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) through self-care behaviours and to ascertain the predictors of correct health training for the control of diabetes. The aim of this study was to determine the predictive role of the constructs of the health belief model in encouraging T2DM to adopt self-care behaviours in Bandar Abbas city.
designThis cross-sectional study was conducted in 2022 in Bandar Abbas.
participantsParticipants were 246 patients with T2DM referring to six comprehensive healthcare centres in Bandar Abbas city. They were enrolled using the accessible sampling method and were requested to complete a questionnaire.
resultsThe results of the present study indicated that the health belief model could explain 50.73% of the variance in patients with T2DM's self-care behaviours. Among the constructs of the health belief model, the constructs of self-efficacy (52.4%), perceived barriers (38.8%) and perceived susceptibility (34.9%) best predicted the adherence of patients to self-care behaviours, suggesting that these constructs can be considered to improve self-care behaviours in patients with T2DM.
conclusionsAccording to the results of this study, the health belief model can be a suitable and effective tool for predicting self-care behaviours in patients with T2DM. There was a statistically significant correlation was found between self-care behaviours and all the constructs except perceived barriers. Considering the positive effects of the health belief model in improving the self-care of patients with type 2 diabetes, it is suggested to use this model in planning interventions to improve self-care in other diseases affected by lifestyle-based behaviour.
