1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

aimsWe aim to systematically review the existing guidelines on physical activity for T2DM and assess the consistency of their recommendations, methodological quality, and reporting quality.

methodsWe performed a literature search on PubMed, China Biology Medicine disc, and four main guideline databases in order to identify existing T2DM guidelines. We then evaluated the methodological and reporting qualities of the guidelines using the AGREE II instrument and the RIGHT checklist. Fifteen guidelines were included in total, with eight of these (53.33%) assessed being "recommended" and five graded as having good reporting quality.

resultA total of 30 physical activity recommendations were extracted. Fifteen recommendations reported the levels of evidence, and of these, five were found to be based on a high quality of evidence. Aerobic exercise at least 3 days per week was recommended by most guidelines (10/15, 66.67%). Eight guidelines (53.33%) recommended resistance exercise, while combined aerobic and resistance exercise was recommended in three of the guidelines (20.0%). Only two guidelines recommended supervised exercise, and one recommended flexibility exercise. Four of the guidelines (26.67%) solely recommended physical activity or exercise, but with no added details.

conclusionsThe quality of the guidelines concerning physical activity for T2DM was found to be moderate to low and varied substantially. Recommendations regarding physical activity for T2DM are not very specific or clear and remain incompletely consistent, while the level of evidence and the strength of the recommendations were seldom reported. Our findings suggest a need for guidelines for diabetes based on high levels of evidence.
