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
Type 2 diabetes is a widespread, chronic metabolic disease with significant consequences for public health. Poor adherence to treatment in type 2 diabetes patients is associated with inadequate glycemic control, increased medical costs, increased use of healthcare services, and increased mortality. Understanding how social support and disease acceptance influence treatment adherence can inform more effective diabetes management strategies. This study investigated the relationship between social support, disease acceptance, and treatment adherence in adults with type 2 diabetes. This cross-sectional correlational study was conducted on 332 individuals with type 2 diabetes in Türkiye. Data were collected using a patient information form, Acceptance of Illness Scale, Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale, and type 2 Diabetes Treatment Adherence Scale. Relationships between variables were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficients, linear regression, and mediation analysis. The regression analysis indicated significant effects of social support on treatment adherence (β=-0.312, p < 0.001) and disease acceptance (β = 0.267, p < 0.001) and of disease acceptance on treatment adherence (β=-0.378, p < 0.001). Additionally, disease acceptance partially mediated the relationship between social support and treatment adherence (β=-0.101, %95 Cl [-0.154, -0.055]). The findings showed that high levels of social support and illness acceptance can improve treatment adherence and that social support may also indirectly enhance treatment adherence by promoting illness acceptance.
