Acute effects of different "exercise snacking'' modalities on glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06146036 (A Comparison of the Acute Effects of Two ''Exercise Snacking'' Modalities on Glycemic Control in Overweight Patients With Type 2 Diabetes), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundImpaired glycemic control, a sedentary lifestyle and diabetes related consequences are common challenges faced by experts and individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Although regular exercise has been shown to improve glycemic control in individuals with T2DM, conventional exercise recommendations are not always feasible for patients due to time constraints. Therefore, "exercise snacking'', which involves short bouts of exercise interspersed throughout the day, has emerged as a potential alternative to traditional exercise regimes. However, optimal intensity, amount, frequency and/or type of "exercise snacking'' for individuals with T2DM remains unclear. The purpose of this three-arm randomized crossover study is to examine the acute effects of different "exercise snacking" modalities on cardiometabolic factors and mental health.
methodsTen sedentary patients (five males and five females, age range: 18-45 years; body mass index (BMI) range: 25-35 kg/m DISCUSSION: The results of this acute study have great potential to inform future public health efforts designed to improve glycemic control, increase exercise rates and affect overall health in individuals with T2DM.
