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: The International Diabetes Federation-Diabetes and Ramadan (IDF-DAR) Practical Guidelines 2021 provide a risk stratification tool to guide the assessment of people with diabetes before they observe Ramadan. Here we conducted a survey study to explore the predictability of the IDF-DAR 2021 guidelines, and the factors associated with breaking fast, in people with type 1 diabetes (PwT1D) during Ramadan. Methods: This cross-sectional study included adult PwT1D living in Saudi Arabia, aged 18 years and above, who observed Ramadan 2022. Between May and August 2022, a standardized online questionnaire was used to collect data regarding socio-demographics, medical history (including the modality of T1D management and other components of the IDF-DAR risk calculator), and Ramadan fasting experience. Results: The study included 963 PwT1D (257 males and 706 females, mean age 26.5 ± 8.4 years). Applying the IDF-DAR risk calculator revealed that the study respondents included 66% high-risk PwT1D, 34% moderate-risk PwT1D (34%), and no low-risk PwT1D. Compared to the moderate-risk group, the high-risk group had significantly more days during which fasting was broken, a higher prevalence of diabetes complications, and more frequent diabetes-related ER visits ( Conclusion: The IDF-DAR 2021 risk calculator predicts the risk of acute diabetes complications and ER visits during Ramadan fasting. Pre-Ramadan education sessions are important and may reduce acute complications among PwT1D during Ramadan fasting.
