Effects of a Lifestyle-Modification Program on Blood-Glucose Regulation and Health Promotion in Diabetic Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Journal of lifestyle medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundWe aimed to investigate the efficacy of the lifestyle intervention (LSI) program in controlling blood glucose regulation and health promotion in type 2 diabetic (T2D) patients.
methodsThirty adults with a diagnosed with diabetes were randomly assigned to LSI and control groups. The LSI group maintained their daily routines after participating twice in the LSI program, while control group maintained 4 weeks of daily life without participating in an intervention.
resultsHbA1c levels in the LSI group decreased significantly after participation (p = 0.025) compared with levels before the study, but there was no significant difference between the groups. The weight and body mass index (BMI) of the LSI group tended to decrease significantly compared with the control group (p = 0.054 and p = 0.055, respectively), and the waist circumference (WC) of the LSI group decreased significantly compared with that of the control group (p = 0.048). In the effects of the LSI program according to the polymorphism of GCKR genes, changes in glycated albumin (GA) (%), HbA1c, WC, BMI, and weight showed a significant decrease in the non-risk (TT genotype) GCKR group compared with the risk group (CC and TC genotype).
conclusionApplication of the four-week LSI program to diabetics revealed positive effects on blood-glucose control and improvement in obesity indicators. In particular, the risk group with variations in the GCKR gene was associated with more genetic effects on indicators such as blood glucose and obesity than was the non-risk group.
