Changes in Fasting Plasma Glucose, HbA1c and Triglycerides Are Related to Changes in Body Composition in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
Article in Maedica, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesThe objective of this analysis was to evaluate the relationship between the changes in the body composition and the changes in the glycemic control as evaluated by glycemia and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and the lipid metabolism parameters in adults with type 2 diabetes. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study, in which we collected data from the files of 171 patients with type 2 diabetes. The patients were followed for 6 months. Body composition (visceral fat area [VFA; cm], body fat mass [BFM, kg] and percent body fat [PBF; %] was assessed by bioelectric impedance. Delta parameters were calculated as the value of the parameter at month 0 minus the value of the parameter at month 3 or month 6. OUTCOMES: All body composition parameters decreased significantly from baseline to month 3 and then to month 6. VFA decreased from 176. 26 cm2 at baseline to 151.21 cm2 at month 3 and to 146.64 cm2 at month 6. PBF decreased from 36.48% to 32.78% at month 3 and to 31.64% at month 6. BFM had a median value of 34.60 kg at baseline and decreased to 29.00 kg at month 3 and 27.95 kg at month 6. At 3 months, delta VAT and delta BFM were correlated with changes in glycemic control and lipid parameters. At 3 months only BFM remained correlated with these parameters.
conclusionIn the population included in this analysis we showed that changes in VFA and BFM were correlated with changes in glycemic control during the 3-month follow-up period and that changes in BFM were correlated with changes in lipid parameters during the entire follow-up.
