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
This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 307 participants from four diabetes clinics in Jeddah. A validated Arabic questionnaire was used to assess participants' KAP scores, which were then analyzed against demographic characteristics. The study participants had a mean age of 44 ± 6.9 years, with a higher proportion of women (52.8%) than men (47.2%). Almost half of the sample (45.9%) held university degrees, whereas only 1.6% were illiterate. The mean knowledge score was 10.03 ± 3.45, with women scoring marginally higher than males (10.15 ± 3.37 vs. 9.90 ± 3.54). Similarly, the mean attitude score was 56.16 ± 12.85, with women scoring higher (56.94 ± 12.97) compared to males (55.38 ± 12.73). However, male patients outperformed female patients in practice scores (11.28 ± 3.82 vs. 10.99 ± 3.69). Logistic regression analysis revealed significant associations between higher KAP scores and advanced education, longer duration since diabetes diagnosis, and having relatives with diabetes (
