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
backgroundUsing medicinal plants as a complementary medicine in patients with diabetes with the aim of controlling the disease and managing its complications is increasing worldwide. Despite the widespread use of these types of drugs, the reasons for their use have not been investigated based on the theory of planned behavior. The present study was conducted with the aim of psychometrics of the questionnaire on the intention to use medicinal plants in patients with type 2 diabetes based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB). MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this descriptive cross-sectional study, as many as 622 diabetic patients, referring to Yazd Research Center for Diabetes, were selected and included in the study by convenience sampling method based on the inclusion criteria defined for the study in 2022. The researcher's data collection tool was a questionnaire developed based on the TPB. Data analyzed via confirmatory factor analysis method using Smart PLS software (partial least squares structural equation modeling [PLS-SEM]) was used to confirm the structure of the questionnaire.
resultsThe questions of TPB constructs were examined using convergent validity criteria (AVE = 0.57-0.74) and discriminant validity using the Fronell-Larcker criterion and were confirmed. The reliability of TPB constructs was also measured within the approved range (rhoC = 0.86-0.95). Using the PLS-SEM algorithm approach, there is a significant relationship between the constructs of abstract norm (
conclusionsThe results of this questionnaire emphasize the importance of perceived norms, perceived behavioral control, and attitude in the inclination of patients with diabetes toward the use of herbal medicines. Thus, this tool can be used to measure diabetic patients' intention for using medicinal plants.
