Effect of JYTK on Antioxidant Status and Inflammation in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Double-Blind Clinical Trial.
Article in International journal of endocrinology and metabolism, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundDiabetes is a metabolic disorder caused by oxidative stress and inflammation. JianYuTangKang (JYTK), as a potential Chinese integrative medicine, is an antioxidant used in Chinese medicine with potential anti-inflammatory properties.
objectivesThe present randomized clinical trial was carried out to evaluate the effects of JYTK on oxidative stress and inflammation in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). PATIENTS AND
methodsThe parallel, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial included 150 newly diagnosed T2DM patients receiving metformin treatment (1.5 g/day), some of whom also received JYTK (4.5 g/day) in tablet form. The control group received 4.5 g/day placebo plus 1.5 g/day metformin. Body mass index (BMI), fasting plasma glucose, urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio, and complete blood count as well as antioxidant and inflammation indices such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, superoxide dismutase (SOD), malonaldehyde (MDA), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels were assessed at baseline and at different time points during the treatment.
resultsAll 112 patients, including 59 in the treatment group (JYTK + metformin) and 52 controls (metformin only) completed the 26-week clinical trial. JYKT plus metformin treatment increased IL-6 (36.4 ± 11.5 ng/L; P < 0.05), TNF-α (17.5 ± 11.3 vs. 22.5 ± 12.9 ng/L; P < 0.05), and MDA (1.9 ± 0.9; P < 0.05) levels compared to the control (2.2 ± 0.6 mM/mL), whereas total SOD level decreased (98.1 ± 30.4 vs. 78.5 ± 29.3 U/mL; P < 0.05). There were no changes in GPX and hs-CRP levels. There were no adverse effects associated with JYTK treatment.
conclusionsJYTK combined with metformin improves some antioxidant indices (SOD and MDA), and decreases inflammation in patients with T2DM, suggesting that it can reduce the risk of diabetic complications.
