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
Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most prevalent non-communicable diseases globally. This study aimed to determine the association between body mass index (BMI) and diabetes mellitus (DM) control among patients with T2DM. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted from October 2023 to June 2024 using secondary data from the National Diabetes Registry (NDR) of Muar District Health Office, Johor. Patients with T2DM registered in the NDR and audited from 2021 to July 2023 were included. The association between BMI and DM control was analysed using hierarchical multinomial logistic regression. Results: A total of 1955 patients were included in the study. The prevalence of good, intermediate and poor BMI control was 38.8% (95% Confident Interval (CI)=36.7, 41.0), 22.2% (95% CI=20.3, 24.0) and 39.0% (95% CI=36.7, 41.2), respectively. Most patients were older Malay women. There was an association between BMI and DM control unadjusted (P<0.001) and adjusted for several confounding factors using seven models (P=0.003-0.034). The R
