Effect of Elastic-band Baduanjin exercise on older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus in China: protocol for a randomised controlled trial.
Article in BMJ open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
introductionIn China, older adults have the highest incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Bone, joint and physical endurance limit the types of exercise available to older adults with T2DM. Baduanjin is recommended and encouraged as an exercise option. However, Baduanjin exercise alone cannot account for the loss of muscle mass. Resistance training is recommended in the guidelines and offers new options for increasing muscle strength. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of Elastic-band Baduanjin exercise training with those of Baduanjin alone. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This study is a reworking exercise programme, consisting of Baduanjin combined with elastic band resistance exercise training. A 12-week randomised controlled trial will be conducted. Patients aged 60-80 years with T2DM will be assigned to the Elastic-band Baduanjin (intervention) and Baduanjin (control) groups using cluster random sampling. A sample of 70 participants will be conducted. Indicators of muscle strength, body composition, blood glucose and balance function will be collected before and after the intervention. Meanwhile, exercise will be monitored using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The trial was approved by the Chinese Ethics Committee of Registering Clinical Trials on 19 June 2022 (ChiECRCT20220210). The research results will be published in peer--reviewed publications. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: Chinese Clinical Trials Registry (ChiCTR2200062424).
