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: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Understanding diabetes patients' knowledge and perception of CVD risk factors is essential for enhancing the quality of patient outcomes. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, risk perception, and factors associated with cardiovascular disease among adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus attending public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 389 participants via systematic random sampling from public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Data were collected via a pre-tested structured questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS (version 27.0). Predictors of CVD knowledge and risk perception were identified through multivariable logistic regression. Statistical significance was defined as ( Results: Of 389 participants, 61.4% (95% CI: 56.6-66.2%) had good CVD knowledge and 43.4% (95% CI: 38.5-48.3%) demonstrated good risk perception. Factors significantly associated with good knowledge included secondary education (AOR = 6.15, Conclusion: This study highlights the need for targeted educational interventions to improve low CVD knowledge and risk perception among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, particularly addressing disparities by educational levels, marital status, age, and modifiable behavioral factors.
