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: Psychological insulin resistance (PIR) seriously impairs compliance and satisfaction with insulin therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study aimed to build a structural equation model (SEM) to investigate factors influencing PIR in patients with T2D and the interactions between them. Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 289 patients with T2D at the endocrinology department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University in China between March and September 2023. Demographic characteristics, self-efficacy (SE), social support (SS), diabetes distress (DD), diabetes stigma (DS), and PIR were evaluated using questionnaires, and the pathways were validated by SEM. Results: The participants had an average PIR score of 56.74 (standard deviation: 11.44). The final model fit well (CMIN/DF = 1.564, GFI = 0.960, AGFI = 0.933, RMSEA = 0.044, NFI = 0.948, TLI = 0.972, IFI = 0.981, CFI = 0.980). In patients with T2D, SE (β = -0.610, Conclusion: The PIR scores of patients with T2D were moderate in this study. PIR was linked to SE, SS, DD, and DS in patients with T2D. Among T2D patients, greater SE and lower DD were linked to lower PIR. The direct and indirect correlations between the structural variables in this study offer a good basis for the creation of focused interventions that lower PIR levels.
