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: Effective diabetes management relies on education and self-management. Diabetes selfmanagement education and support (DSMES) facilitates necessary knowledge and skills, incorporating patient needs and evidence-based standards to improve outcomes. However, adherence to selfmanagement is challenging due to insufficient education. This study assessed self-care management, a standard of care for DM patients in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Methods: This cross-sectional study assessed self-care practices among diabetic patients at a tertiary center in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Data were gathered through an online survey conducted from December 2023 to April 2024. Participants included individuals aged 18 and older with diabetes from King Abdulaziz University Hospital. Healthcare workers and non-diabetic patients were excluded. The survey collected information on demographics, disease duration, medications, adherence, complications, knowledge, and education related to diabetes management. It utilized a revised version of the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire to explore self-care activities in diabetes management. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 26, applying Chi-squared for qualitative variables, Mann-Whitney U for quantitative non-parametric variables, and Spearman's for correlation, with P<.05 signifying statistical significance. Results: Knowledge regarding managing hyperglycemia was adequate in 70%, but only 45% were aware of how to adjust medications during illnesses. Physical activity levels were low, with 60% reporting minimal exercise. Those receiving intensive insulin showed a stronger correlation between knowledge and self-care practices, with a Spearman's correlation coefficient of 0.18 ( Conclusions: Patients with diabetes in Saudi Arabia show moderate knowledge, with gaps in illness management. Targeted education, especially for younger and newly diagnosed patients, can improve selfcare and health outcomes.
