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: Diabetes mellitus (DM) poses significant threats to overall health, contributing to increased morbidity and mortality. This study investigated DM prevalence, knowledge, attitude, and practice (PKAP) among premenopausal, perimenopausal, and postmenopausal women accessing obstetric and gynecological care services in Nigerian hospitals, and explored associations with demographic variables. Subjects and Methods: A hospital-based, cross-sectional survey was conducted between August 2024 and January 2025 using a multistage sampling technique. A total of 1620 women were recruited. Data were collected using an adapted Diabetes Mellitus Assessment Questionnaire, which demonstrated 0.81 reliability index. Data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS version 22, with statistical significance set at Results: Of the 1620 women recruited (aged 40-65 years), 1538 (94.9%) provided valid responses, whereas 82 (5.1%) withdrew voluntarily. Among respondents, 586 (38.1%) were premenopausal, 316 (20.5%) perimenopausal, and 636 (41.4%) postmenopausal. DM prevalence was 21.3%, 64.2%, and 65.3% among premenopausal, perimenopausal, and postmenopausal women, respectively. Good DM knowledge was observed in 62.8%, 69.3%, and 68.9% of premenopausal, perimenopausal, and postmenopausal women, respectively. Attitudes and practices toward DM varied across groups. Statistically, significant association was found between DM knowledge and employment ( Conclusion: The prevalence of DM was notably high, particularly among perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. While DM knowledge was generally good, attitudes and practices varied. The significant association between DM knowledge and certain demographic factors underscores the need for targeted health interventions and gender-responsive DM education programs.
