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
backgroundIndividuals with type 2 diabetes who consume alcohol require lifestyle changes, including altering food and alcohol consumption. Alcohol and food consumption for individuals with type 2 diabetes create an accumulative impact that adversely affects their potential to alter their lifestyle.
aimThis study explores how individuals with type 2 diabetes who consume alcohol at varying levels interpret and manage lifestyle changes related to drinking and diet.
methodsThe study uses hermeneutic phenomenology. Semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted with 12 participants living with type 2 diabetes who consumed alcohol. Data were collected from September 2017 to February 2018. The University's ethics committee approved the study, and the data were analysed using thematic analysis. ETHICS: Ethics committee approval was obtained from the University of Leeds Committee on Research Ethics, and written informed consent was obtained from participants.
findingsLifestyle modifications for individuals with type 2 diabetes who consume alcohol are more complex than for individuals with type 2 diabetes who do not. Also, the impersonal nature of organisational and professional culture impedes lifestyle changes. Furthermore, insufficient, unfriendly and incomprehensible labelling of food and alcohol impedes healthier food and alcohol selection choices. Finally, family, friends, and other social networks unintentionally encourage alcohol drinking and food consumption.
conclusionsThe increased number of group memberships or the potential to develop new group memberships increases the likelihood of commencing and sustaining lifestyle changes. Also, healthcare professionals need to educate individuals with type 2 diabetes who consume alcohol to read, evaluate and interpret food and alcohol labels, and act upon policies regulating the food and alcohol industry. Health professionals need to empower individuals living with type 2 diabetes to develop new social group memberships. Furthermore, an integral component of the caring process is the co-construction of explanatory, sense-making and transformative narratives that justify and warrant lifestyle changes. Finally, health professionals need to re-envisage their healthcare roles and reshape how they employ information technology and integrate family in the lifestyle changes.
