1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of chronic conditions, including obesity, hyperglycemia, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, known to significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Effective interventions are needed to control the progression of MetS. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the Self-Efficacy Enhancement (SEE) program on health behaviors and clinical outcomes in individuals with Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a two-group pretest-posttest design was conducted from September 2023 to January 2024. A purposive sample of 70 participants with MetS was recruited from two healthcare settings in Thailand. Participants were divided into two groups: an experimental group ( Results: Following the SEE program, the experimental group exhibited significant improvements in health behaviors ( Conclusion: The SEE program improved health behaviors and clinical outcomes, supporting its integration into standard MetS care in nursing practice. Through e-health, education, exercise guidance, role modeling, and support, the program can boost confidence in adopting healthier behaviors and reduce CVD risk. Future studies should explore extending the program duration, as the 12-week period may have been insufficient to observe significant changes.
