The influence of hypoglycemic drugs on exercise-mediated hypoglycemic effects in elderly type 2 diabetic patients.

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
backgroundTo evaluate the impact of different hypoglycemic drugs on exercise-mediated blood glucose (BG) reduction.
methodsOne-hundred and five retirees who were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) within a two-year period were included in this study. The participants were instructed to walk for 20 to 30 minutes at a moderate-speed (4.0 to 4.5 km/h) after breakfast. Blood pressure and fingertip BG were measured before and after walking.
resultsThe rate of BG reduction was significantly higher in all exercise groups when compared to that of non-exercised patients. Among all groups, BG declined the most in the un-medicated group, while the lowest BG reduction was observed in the acarbose group. Surprisingly, the BG reduction in acarbose group was significantly lower when compared with non-acarbose groups (P<0.0001). Interestingly, after further correcting for sex, age, BMI, diabetes history, walking time, walking speed and walking distance, only age was found to be an influencing factor (t=-3.304, P=0.001). Pearson correlation of age and BG reduction showed that correlation coefficient of age was only 0.183 and revealed no statistical significance.
conclusionsWalking at a moderate speed for 20 to30 minutes after breakfast provided a beneficial BG reduction effect in elderly T2DM patients. Among the medicated groups, the smallest BG reduction rate was observed in patients taking acarbose. We suggest that acarbose might influence hypoglycemic effects of exercise. The results of this study will be helpful for determining the best clinical usage of hypoglycemic medications in elderly T2DM patients.
