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
As older adults increasingly live with multiple chronic conditions, appropriate medication use and adequate self-efficacy are important components of effective self-management. Self-neglect, characterized by insufficient attention to personal health and self-care, may be associated with health-related behaviors in later life. This study aimed to examine the association between self-neglect and self-efficacy for appropriate medication use among older adults. This descriptive cross-sectional correlational study was conducted in 2024 among older adults attending 11 comprehensive urban health centers in Rafsanjan, southeastern Iran. Participants were selected using proportional random sampling. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Elder Self-Neglect Scale, and the Self-Efficacy for Appropriate Medication Use Scale. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 22. Participants demonstrated moderate levels of self-neglect (78.71 ± 12.28) and medication self-efficacy (23.80 ± 5.81). A weak inverse association was observed between self-neglect and self-efficacy for appropriate medication use (
