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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between diabetes medication self-efficacy and quality of life in older adults with diabetes.
methodsThe study included 192 older adults who attended the diabetes clinic of a public hospital in Istanbul. Data were collected between June and October 2024. Participants were informed about the study and provided both verbal and written consent. Data collection instruments comprised a sociodemographic questionnaire, the diabetes medication self-efficacy scale, and the quality of life scale for older adults.
resultsOf the participants, 98 (51.0%) were women and 105 (54.7%) were aged 65 to 74 years. The mean diabetes medication self-efficacy score was 38.95±10.31, and the mean quality of life score was 18.24±6.37. A weak but statistically significant positive correlation was observed between the autonomy and satisfaction subscale of quality of life and the necessity subscale of self-efficacy (p<0.05).
conclusionThis study, which examined the relationship between self-efficacy in diabetes management and quality of life in older adults, provides valuable guidance for clinical practice aimed at improving care for this population.
