Insects as Diet and Therapy: Perspectives on Their Use for Combating Diabetes Mellitus in Tanzania.
Review in Pharmaceuticals (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
More than 450 million people worldwide are suffering from diabetes and this number is expected to increase. In developing countries, such as Tanzania, the number of patients suffering from diabetes and associated diseases is increasing as well. Up to 80% of the Tanzanian people rely on traditional medicines for their health care services. The nature of Tanzanian is very rich in different plant and insect species, and this could be exploited through their implementation in preventive and/or curative approaches in the battle against diabetes. The implementation of healthy insects in the diets of people may help in the prevention of obesity, which is a risk factor in the etiology of diabetes, while the identification of small molecules in insects may help in the discovery of potential new drugs that can be used in the treatment of diabetes. In this paper, an overview on the potential implementation of insects against diabetes is presented.
