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: Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is a common neurological disease that is highly prevalent worldwide, affecting individuals across different age groups, with a higher prevalence in the older generation. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of PN and its associated factors among the older population in Malaysia. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among older people in seven retail pharmacies in Malaysia. Sociodemographic data and medical history were collected, and PN was assessed using a biothesiometer. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with PN. Results: The prevalence of PN among the older population in Malaysia was 60.9%. By using multiple logistic regression, individuals with diabetes have a significantly higher odds of having PN compared to those without diabetes (AOR = 3.216, 95% CI = 1.763, 5.869, Conclusion: The high prevalence of PN among the older people in Malaysia highlights the need for targeted screening. Significant associations were found between age, male gender, and diabetes with the development of PN. Regular screening of PN among older people is crucial to prevent long-term complications of PN.
