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: To explore how adults living with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and family members described self-care within everyday family life at two community health centers in Ogan Ilir Regency, South Sumatra, Indonesia, using the Self-Care of Chronic Illness (SCCI) framework as a sensitizing lens. Patients and Methods: A qualitative descriptive study was conducted at two community health centers in Ogan Ilir Regency, South Sumatra, Indonesia. Ten adults living with T2DM and five family members were purposively recruited and participated in individual semistructured interviews. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis combining deductive attention to SCCI concepts with inductive coding. Patient and family accounts were analyzed as separate, complementary perspectives rather than as matched patient-family dyads. Results: Five interconnected themes were developed: self-care was shaped by everyday food and family routines; monitoring often began when the body "spoke"; recognizing bodily changes did not always translate into knowing what to do; family involvement shifted among assistance, supervision, restriction, and permissiveness; and participants wanted knowledge that could be translated into affordable and feasible action. Across these themes, reported family practices operated across self-care maintenance, monitoring, and management, with particular uncertainty between recognizing bodily changes and selecting a response. These findings provide a contextual and interpretive account rather than identifying a new self-care process. Conclusion: In this small, context-specific sample, separate patient and family perspectives suggested that T2DM self-care was relational and context-dependent, particularly in the transition from recognizing bodily changes to selecting a response. These findings may inform the future development and evaluation of family-responsive support in comparable primary care settings.
