Glycaemic control in the diabetes and Lifestyle Cohort Twente: A cross-sectional assessment of lifestyle and pharmacological management on Hba1c target achievement.
Article in Diabetes, obesity & metabolism, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
The majority of patients with type 2 diabetes do not reach target levels of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c < 7%). We investigated the prevalence of HbA1c-target achievement and opportunities afforded by lifestyle and pharmacological treatment to increase target achievement. We performed cross-sectional analyses of baseline data from the Diabetes and Lifestyle Cohort Twente-1 (DIALECT-1). Patients were divided according to (1) HbA1c <53 and ≥53 mmol/mol (<7%) and (2) non-insulin treatment and tertiles of daily insulin use. We found that 161 (36%) patients achieved the target HbA1c level. Patients with HbA1c ≥53 mmol/mol had a longer duration of diabetes (13 [8-20] vs 9 [4-14] years; P < .001) and more frequently were insulin-users (76% vs 41%, P < .001). Patients in the highest tertile of insulin use had a higher body mass index than those in the lowest tertile (35.8 ± 5.5 vs 29.8 ± 5.5 kg/m
