Identifying Patterns of Lifestyle Behaviors among People with Type 2 Diabetes in Tianjin, China: A Latent Class Analysis.

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
introductionLifestyle behaviors are essential elements of diabetes care. The aims of this study were to identify distinct subgroups of people with type 2 diabetes based on personal levels of lifestyle behaviors and explore the different characteristics across these subgroups.
methodsIn 2015 and 2016, 1504 outpatients with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes were selected via two-stage simple random sampling from 10 municipal district hospitals in Tianjin. Participants accepted an invitation by experienced physicians to complete a questionnaire containing demographic and lifestyle content. Clinical data were collected by reviewing medical records. Latent class analysis was applied to identify patterns of lifestyle behaviors. Multinomial logistic regression was used to investigate the characteristics of the subgroups.
resultsThe final model yielded a four-class solution: the healthy behavioral group, unhealthy diet and less activity group, smoking and drinking group, and sedentary and extremely inactive group. Further analysis found that variables, including age, sex, general/central obesity, treatment modalities, glycemic control, diabetes duration, and diabetes-related complications and comorbidities, were disproportionately distributed across the four latent classes (P < 0.05). Participants in the unhealthy diet and less activity group were more likely to have a longer duration of diabetes, poor glycemic control and more diabetes-related diseases relative to the other three latent classes.
conclusionsIdentification and characterization of subgroups based on lifestyle behaviors in individuals with type 2 diabetes can help health care providers to shift to targeted intervention strategies.
