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 and Aims: Type 2 diabetes accounts for over 90% of diabetes cases worldwide, underscoring the need for effective management, particularly in dietary practices. This study aimed to assess dietary practices and identify associated factors among patients with type 2 diabetes at Gabiley General Hospital, Somaliland. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a questionnaire survey at Gabiley General Hospital. A purposive sampling technique was employed to recruit 168 respondents who met the clinical inclusion criteria. Data on dietary practices, sociodemographic factors, nutritional knowledge, and clinical characteristics were collected using a pre-tested structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using binary logistic regression using Stata version 16.0. Results: The study revealed that most respondents (77.38%) had poor dietary practices. Factors significantly associated with dietary practice included age (OR = 3.02, Conclusion: The high prevalence of poor dietary practices highlights a need for intervention. Enhancing nutritional education, establishing dedicated nutrition services at Gabiley General Hospital, and gaining policy support from Somaliland's health and agricultural ministries are recommended to improve dietary management and health outcomes for patients with type 2 diabetes.
