Effects of high-intensity interval walking training on muscle strength, walking ability, and health-related quality of life in people with diabetes accompanied by lower extremity weakness: A randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Journal of diabetes investigation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
AIMS/
introductionThis study examined the effects of high-intensity interval walking training (IWT) compared to moderate-intensity continuous walking training (CWT) on muscle strength, walking ability, and health-related quality of life (QOL) in people with diabetes accompanied by lower extremity weakness. MATERIALS AND
methodsPeople with diabetes accompanied by low isometric knee extensor strength using a simple manual dynamometer (n = 50) were screened and randomly divided into 2 groups: CWT (n = 25) and IWT (n = 25). Both groups were instructed by a physical therapist to perform walking training with the goal of 120 min/week over a 5-month period. The primary outcome, mean change of isometric knee extensor strength, and secondary outcomes, such as gait speed and health-related QOL, were measured at baseline and the end of the intervention.
resultsAt the end of the intervention, there was no significant difference in the degree of change in isometric knee extension strength between the two groups. However, there was a significant increase in changes in gait speed and physical QOL in the IWT group (gait speed, P < 0.01; physical QOL, P < 0.05).
conclusionsThe present study showed that IWT for people with diabetes accompanied by lower extremity weakness did not improve knee extension muscle strength compared to CWT but did improve walking ability and physical QOL.
