Effect of diet on the management of hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults from low-income and middle-income countries: protocol for a systematic review of randomised controlled trials.
Article in BMJ open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
introductionHypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are two highly prevalent non-communicable diseases worldwide, both leading to disability and premature mortality in low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs). Nutritional interventions towards a healthier dietary pattern or food and nutrients intake have an important role on the management of this disease. This systematic review aims to evaluate the effect of nutritional interventions on the management of blood pressure and glycaemia in adults with hypertension and T2DM from LMICs. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We will conduct a systematic review of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) on the effect of nutritional interventions on blood pressure and glycaemia in adult patients with hypertension and T2DM. Literature search will be conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, Cochrane and Web of Science databases from anytime until April 2024. Nutritional interventions would have been applied in addition to regular or standard treatment, which is prescribed and/or provided by the healthcare system. Studies in English and Spanish will be selected and reviewed by two independent reviewers. Risk of bias will be assessed using the Cochrane tool for RCTs. Heterogeneity and publication bias will be estimated using the I ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethics approval was not required for this systematic review, considering there was no direct data collection or participation of patients. The investigators will write a manuscript of the final detailed report with the study development and main findings to be published in a peer- reviewed journal. The main findings may be shared with academia partners and groups working on similar topics in LMICs, in addition to policymakers and authorities in these countries.
