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
Background: Telerehabilitation is recognised as an effective method for providing rehabilitation services to people who may live in an area where few in-person services are available or those who have mobility or transport issues which make attending rehabilitation sessions difficult or impossible. Aim: To assess the perception, awareness and knowledge of patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and their attitude towards telerehabilitation. Setting: The study took place in the Elias Motsoaledi Local Municipality. Methods: The current study followed a quantitative approach using a cross-sectional design to achieve the objectives of the study. A convenience sampling method was used to recruit 202 participants aged 18 years and older. The research data were captured by a double-entry system into a Microsoft Office Excel spreadsheet and were cleared of errors. Thereafter, the data were transferred to the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 2024. The data were checked for normality using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and was determined to be not normally distributed. Results: Participants were proportionally represented in terms of age and gender. The majority of participants were aged 56 years and older, which is significantly represented by participants in this study. The current study found that there was no significant awareness, knowledge, attitudes or computer skills regarding telerehabilitation among the participants. Conclusion: The results highlight the need for educational programmes about telerehabilitation as an alternative method for healthcare services. Contribution: The study contributes towards assisting in developing an understanding of the awareness, knowledge, attitude and computer skills of patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
