1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Adherence to lifestyle modification recommendations plays a significant role in the management of diabetes mellitus, which commonly affects elderly groups. Low or nonadherence to dietary and physical activity recommendations is a major problem that retrogresses efforts invested in diabetes care and management. This subject is underexplored in Kenya, with no existing study conducted in Kericho County. The study is aimed at bridging the existing compliance gap through assessment of dietary and physical activity adherence among Type 2 diabetes patients aged 40+ years in Kericho County, Kenya. A hospital-based cross-sectional study involving 207 type 2 diabetes patients at Kericho County Referral Hospital using a pretested and structured interviewer-administered questionnaire was conducted. Validated and customized perceived dietary adherence questionnaire (PDAQ) and global physical activity questionnaire (GPAQ) were utilized. Data on sociodemographic and behavioral characteristics, and diet and exercise were collected from selected respondents through systematic random sampling technique. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS Version 26. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify factors influencing adherence, with significance set at < 0.05. Results showed that 51.7% and 35.3% of the respondents were adherent to recommended dietary and physical activity, respectively. Being aged ≥ 70 years (AOR = 2.13, 95% CI: 1.01-4.87,
