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
Purpose: This study aimed to explore the experiences of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) according to their adherence to a personalized self-care (PSC) program and to evaluate its effects on self-care activities and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels 18 months after baseline. Methods: A convergent mixed-methods design was employed. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 33 participants who demonstrated high adherence (adherence group, AG) and 17 participants who demonstrated low adherence (non-adherence group, NAG). Data were analyzed using Elo and Kyngäs's content analysis approach. The program's effects were evaluated by comparing the mean differences between pre-test and 18-month follow-up data using SPSS version 23.0. Results: Participants in the AG used the app for self-monitoring, which promoted self-reflection and improved diabetes self-care. Participants in the NAG expressed an intentions to improve but reported low motivation due to limited willpower, busy schedules, and insufficient awareness of the diabetes severity. Foot care significantly improved both within (Z = -3.98, Conclusion: The finding suggested that PSC program enhanced diabetes self-care activities, particularly in the areas of general diet, foot care, and HbA1c control. To enhance self-care adherence among individuals with T2D, mobile apps should offer goal setting, progress tracking, simplified data entry, and reminders.
