Improving Metabolic Syndrome in Ghanaian Adults with Type 2 Diabetes through a Home-Based Physical Activity Program: A Feasibility Randomised Controlled Trial.
Trial report in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
There is a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) among people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Physical activity has the potential to improve health outcomes for individuals with type 2 diabetes. Our study aim was to determine the effect of a 12-week culturally appropriate home-based physical activity program on metabolic syndrome markers and quality of life in Ghanaian adults with T2DM. A secondary objective was to examine the feasibility of implementing the PA program. A feasibility randomised controlled trial (RCT) was conducted. A purposive sample of 87 adults with T2DM at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, Ghana, were randomized into either the control group (CG) (
