Evaluation of Pulmonary Functions in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Introduction Diabetes mellitus (DM) has been broadly recognized as the syndrome of hyperglycemia leading to various macro- and microvascular complications. The different physiological systems that have been identified as a target of these injurious effects of hyperglycemia are the excretory system, ocular system, central nervous system, and cardiovascular system. To date, not much focus has been given to the respiratory system as a possible target for the deleterious effect of hyperglycemia. Objective To assess the pulmonary functions in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and compare them with age and sex-matched healthy controls. Methods This study was conducted on one hundred and twenty-five patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and a comparative number of age and sex-matched non-diabetic individuals (control group) who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RMS Helios 401 computerized spirometer was used to assess pulmonary functions. Results The mean age of the control group and type 2 diabetics were 50.96±6.85 and 51.47±8.43 years, respectively. The results of the present study showed significantly lower values of FVC, FEV1, FEF25-75%, and MVV among diabetic subjects as compared to controls (<0.05). Conclusion We found that pulmonary function parameters in diabetic subjects were consistently lower than in healthy controls. This reduction in lung function is probably a chronic complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
