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
aimTo explore the experiences of Jordanian adults living with T2DM and understand the influence of sociocultural, religious, emotional, and healthcare factors on their daily self-management practices.
backgroundT2DM prevalence is alarmingly high and increasing in Jordan. However, there is a lack of understanding about the daily experiences and challenges faced by T2DM patients in the complex cultural and social environment. Understanding the experiences of T2DM patients in the complex cultural and social environment is crucial for the design and implementation of appropriate interventions. METHODOLOGY: A qualitative phenomenological approach was used for the study. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 20 participants with T2DM. Participants were selected from the major tertiary care hospital in Northern Jordan. Reflexive thematic analysis, supported by NVivo software, was used for the data analysis. Triangulation, audit trail, peer debriefing, and member checking were used for the establishment of the trustworthiness of the study.
resultsSix major themes were identified. Cultural pressures concerning food, challenges in adhering to the prescribed medication, religious and cultural influences, emotional and psychological burdens, gaps in healthcare services, and facilitators and coping strategies.
conclusionSelf-management practices for T2DM patients in Jordan are significantly influenced by cultural, religious, emotional, and healthcare factors. Interventions for T2DM patients in Jordan need to be appropriate and tailored to the culture and community. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: It is the duty and responsibility of the nurse to provide appropriate education and advice based on the culture and community. Family involvement in the care process for T2DM patients in Jordan is crucial.
