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: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance and progressive β-cell dysfunction, leading to long-term complications that negatively affect patients' quality of life (QoL). Various demographic, psychological, and clinical factors influence QoL. However, limited research has explored these associations within the sociocultural context of a rural regency in Indonesia, where variations in healthcare access, education, and economic conditions may uniquely affect QoL. Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationships between clinical and demographic factors and QoL among patients with T2DM. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2024 to February 2025 with 1,030 adult T2DM patients recruited via purposive sampling. QoL was assessed using the Diabetes Quality of Life Scale (DQOL), and anxiety was measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Additional data on employment status, disease duration, age, and therapy type were collected via structured questionnaires. Data were analyzed using SPSS 27 with univariate, bivariate (chi-square), and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Statistical significance was set at Results: Descriptively, most participants were female (90.8%), aged 51-60 years (59.7%), and had completed senior high school (84%). Overall, 61.2% reported good QoL. Anxiety was mild in 73.3% and moderate in 26.7% of participants. Multivariate logistic regression indicated that moderate anxiety ( Conclusion: Longer disease duration, older age (≥50 years), unemployment, moderate anxiety, and insulin therapy were significantly associated with lower QoL among T2DM patients. These findings emphasize the need for integrated care strategies combining educational, psychosocial, and socioeconomic interventions. Nursing practice should prioritize holistic, patient-centered approaches incorporating psychological support, individualized education, and social empowerment.
