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: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of vision loss among adults with diabetes aged between 20 to 70 years. Lack of knowledge about Diabetic retinopathy is one of the reasons for treatment delays, which can lead to the development of sight-threatening DR. The aim of this study is to assess knowledge of diabetic retinopathy and associated factor among adults with diabetes mellitus at public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted at five public hospitals in Addis Ababa from 27 February to 27 March 2023.Systematic random sampling was used to select 421 diabetes patients. Data was collected using a pretested interviewer-administered questionnaire using Kobo Collect version 2022.4.4. The data was then exported to SPSS version 27 for cleaning and analysis. Multiple linear regression analysis with a p-value < 0.05 and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to identify factors associated with knowledge of DR. Results: The respondents' mean percentage score for DR knowledge was 61.42% ± 28.75%. Longer years lived with diabetes (B = 0.157, p = 0.001) and older age (B = 0.022, p = 0.044) were associated with better DR knowledge score, whereas having no formal education (β = -0.166, p = 0.001) and secondary school education (β = -0.165, p = 0.001) compared to the other groups had lower DR knowledge score. Conclusion: Longer years lived with diabetes, older age and higher educational level were factors associated with better knowledge of DR. Therefore, health professionals should target newly diagnosed, relatively younger patients and less educated DM patients when providing diabetes self-management education related to DR.
