Efficacy of inulin supplementation in improving insulin control, HbA1c and HOMA-IR in patients with type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Review in Journal of clinical biochemistry and nutrition, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that occurs among the general population. The insulin-lowering and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance-improving effects of inulin are unconfirmed. We conducted this meta-analysis to examine the efficiency and safety of inulin for improving insulin control, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance and HbA1c in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. We searched the Web of Science, PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library databases for relevant articles published before June 1, 2019. In total, 225 randomized controlled trials regarding the efficiency of inulin for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus compared to the efficacy of placebo or other treatments were examined. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 9 trials with a total of 661 participants were included. We concluded that inulin supplementation can significantly improve fasting plasma glucose (SMD = -0.55, 95% CI -0.73 to -0.36,
