Lifestyle factors associated with glycaemic control and body mass index in older adults with diabetes.
Article in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
objectiveTo investigate the relations between lifestyle factors (diet and exercise), glycated haemoglobin (HbA(1c)) and body mass index (BMI) in older adults with diabetes. DESIGN AND
settingA community hospital-based cross-sectional study of 150 noninstitutionalized, ambulatory adults (>/=65 y) with diabetes, residing within New Zealand's Kapiti region. SUBJECTS: Patients were recruited from all general practices; two diabetes clinics; local diabetes society and through advertisements in community newspapers. A total of 211 eligible people were identified, but 60 refused to participate and one withdrew. In all, 150 people completed the study (71% participation rate).
methodsNutrient intakes were calculated by a food-frequency questionnaire. Physical activity was assessed by interview using a validated questionnaire. Medical history and demographic data were obtained by interview or self-completed questionnaires; height, weight and HbA(1c) were measured. Multivariate models using bootstrapping and stepwise linear regression were used to select factors associated with HbA(1c) and BMI.
resultsEach five-unit increase in energy from dietary saturated fat and five-unit increase in BMI were associated with 6% (95% confidence interval=2-10%; P=0.004) and 4% (0.3-7%; P=0.031) increases in HbA(1c), respectively. For females with moderate, compared with low overall activity, there was a 14% (7-20%; P=0.000) reduction in BMI while for males the reduction was only 5% (-1-11%; P=0.116). BMI decreased 5% (2-9%; P=0.004) with each 10-y increase in age, while a five-unit increment in energy from dietary sucrose was associated with a 6% (1-11%; P=0.025) increase in BMI.
conclusionsReducing dietary saturated fat and excess body weight may be useful means of improving glycaemic control in older adults with diabetes. Increasing physical activity and reducing energy from dietary sucrose may assist weight control, the former particularly in women.
