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: Fasting is obligatory for all healthy adult Muslims in the month of Ramadan, one of Islam's five pillars. Over 50 million diabetics fast annually, emphasizing the necessity for specialized care. Aim: The study focused on the ability of diabetic patients in Yemen too fast for two consecutive years during Ramadan. Methodology: A total of 573 Patients (343 females and 230 males, including 19 adolescents aged 12-19 years) participated in the study. The patients answered a questionnaire regarding how they fasted in 2022 and after fasting Ramadan in 2023 they were contacted to ask how they had fasted and reasons for breaking their fast. The patients' medications were adjusted according to the Diabetes and Ramadan guidelines (DAR). Statistical analysis was used for ANOVA and chi-square tests to investigate correlations and differences. Frequencies and percentages were used to describe qualitative data. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to calculate odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals. Results: The percentage of patients that fasted all of Ramadan was 84% and among those that broke their fast, hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia were the primary reasons for this. We found that there were significant associations between breaking fasting patterns and age (p = 0.023), type 1 diabetes (p = 0.041), insulin use (p = 0.017), and those that had a history of breaking their fast in a previous year (p<0.001). The levels of HbA1c, duration of diabetes, body mass index (BMI), and level of education were not significantly related to developing hypoglycemia. Conclusion: The study shows different factors affecting fasting Ramadan in diabetic patients in Yemen over 2 years. It emphasizes the need for personalized care plans, focused educational initiatives for teenagers and adults with diabetes, and ongoing initiatives to improve the health of Yemeni people with diabetes for fasting during Ramadan.
