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
backgroundProper self-care practices are essential for maintaining optimal glycemic control and preventing complications related to type 2 diabetes Mellitus. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of print-based educational intervention on self-care practices among patients with Type 2 diabetes at tertiary hospitals South-west, Nigeria.
methodsA quasi-experimental pretest-posttest research design was employed. The sample size was 192 patients attending endocrinology clinic who were selected using purposive sampling technique and were randomly divided into print based instructional module group (n = 96), and control (n = 96). Data collection tools were demographic information questionnaire and self-care practice questionnaire. The educational intervention in the print based instructional group included power point presentation session with take home leaflet and weekly activities reminder on platforms for 12 weeks with no intervention in the control group. Data was analyzed using SPSS 26 at a significance level of 0.05.
resultsThere was increase in the proportion of participants with good practice of self-care (90.4%) in the Print-Based Instructional Modules (PBIM) group compared to control group at post intervention. After the educational interventions, there were statistically significant changes observed in respondents' practice of self-care at post-intervention in the PBIM group (10.573 to 12.957), (z=-6.845, p < 0.001). However, there was no significant difference in the practice of self-care in the control group, (z=-0.160, p = 0.873).
conclusionsPrint based instructional module is effective in enhancing self-care practice among patients with type 2 diabetes. It is recommended to use a print-based instructional modules in form of leaflet to supplement routine diabetes education.
