The Effect of Curcumin on Lipid Profile and Glycemic Status of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Article in Evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine : eCAM, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 4 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 (T2DM) is a progressive metabolic disorder, some natural compounds are thought to be beneficial in improving the metabolic status of patients with T2DM. Curcumin is the main bioactive agent of turmeric, the impact of curcumin on T2DM is still controversial. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effects of curcumin on lipids profile and glucose status in patients with T2DM. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examining the effects of curcumin on lipids profile and glycemic control of T2DM patients were searched in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library. Pooled estimates of weighted mean difference (WMD) were calculated between intervention and control groups using random-effects or fixed-effects model. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were conducted to assess the effects. Nine eligible RCT with 604 subjects were included. The estimated pooled mean changes with curcumin were -18.97 mg/dL (95% CI: -36.47 to -1.47;
