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/
objectivesAs a lifelong chronic condition, diabetes requires self-management, which plays an essential role in slowing disease progression and improving treatment outcomes. This research aimed to investigate whether the quality of chronic care statistically mediates the relationship between eHealth literacy and self-management among adults with diabetes participating in a shared care model.
methodsA cross-sectional design along with convenience sampling was utilized in this study. From March 2025 to March 2026, 332 individuals with diabetes were enrolled from a shared care model at a tertiary hospital in northwestern China. The participants completed the Chinese versions of the three validated instruments, and the data were processed using SPSS 27.0 and PROCESS 4.1.
resultsSignificant positive correlations were found among the three core variables (all
conclusionsThis study found that patients with diabetes participating in the shared care model reported relatively favorable self-management capabilities. eHealth literacy was indirectly associated with self-management behaviors through the quality of chronic care. However, given the cross-sectional design of this study, these findings should be interpreted as statistical associations rather than causal evidence, and reverse causality cannot be ruled out. Future longitudinal studies are needed to establish temporal ordering and causal relationships among these variables.
