Overcoming dietary complexity in type 2 diabetes: influencing factors and coping strategies.
Article in European journal of medical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundAdherence to dietary guidelines is a fundamental aspect of diabetes management; however, it poses a significant challenge for patients with diabetes. Our research aims to assess the level of dietary compliance among individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and to identify the factors that influence their adherence to dietary advice.
methodsThis study was a cross-sectional survey. The patients with T2DM undergoing treatment at our hospital from March, 2023, to June, 2024 were included. Compliance with dietary recommendations was assessed using the validated dietary compliance scale for type 2 diabetes mellitus patients (DCS-T2DM). Spearman correlation and logistic regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the factors influencing dietary compliance in patients with T2DM.
resultsA total of 308 T2DM patients were included in our study. The results revealed that 46.10% of the participants had suboptimal dietary compliance. There were significant correlations between dietary compliance and several demographic and clinical factors, including age (r = 0.501), gender (r = 0.447), education level (r = 0.610), average monthly household per capita income (r = 0.627), and the duration, since T2DM diagnosis (r = 0.552), all of which were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Logistic regression identified age (OR = 1.705, 95%CI 1.262 ~ 1.987), gender (OR = 2.401, 95%CI 1.909 ~ 3.134), education level (OR = 3.083, 95%CI 2.434 ~ 3.957), average monthly household per capita income (OR = 3.721, 95%CI 2.553 ~ 4.405), and the time since T2DM diagnosis (OR = 2.470, 95%CI 1.755 ~ 3.262) as significant predictors of dietary compliance.
conclusions46.10% of patients with T2DM exhibited suboptimal dietary adherence, with age, gender, education, income, and diabetes duration significantly predicting compliance. It is imperative for healthcare providers to devise individualized intervention strategies that incorporate these pivotal factors to enhance dietary adherence in patients with T2DM.
