Type 2 diabetes mellitus, physical activity, and neuromusculoskeletal complications.
Article in Journal of neurosciences in rural practice. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Objectives: The objectives of the study were to investigate the neuromusculoskeletal complications of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and their associated factors, including the level of physical activity (PA) and clinicodemographic characteristics. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional analysis, we included 370 participants diagnosed with T2DM for no <1 year who satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Demographic and clinical characteristics were noted and a thorough clinical examination was performed on all the participants. International PA Questionnaire-Short Form was used to evaluate the level of PA of the participants. The continuous data is presented as mean ± SD and the categorical data is presented as the number of participants (n) and percentage (%). A logistic regression model was used to investigate the predictors for the prevalence of the complications. Results: The mean duration of T2DM was 7.32 ± 5.53 years and the mean hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) level (%) was 8.16±1.67. A majority of the participants were having uncontrolled diabetes with an HbA1c level ≥7.5% ( Conclusion: Neuromusculoskeletal complications of T2DM are common and can result in significant disability in this population. Low PA is very common among T2DM patients and an important contributor to the development of complications. Health-care providers should consider PA an integral component of the management protocol for T2DM patients.
