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
Objective Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance and hyperglycemia. While its prevalence is rising globally, differences in clinical presentation between genders remain underexplored. This study aims to compare the demographic, physiological, and symptomatic profiles of T2DM between male and female patients. Methodology This cross-sectional study was conducted in a secondary care hospital using a non-probability convenience sampling method. The duration of the study was about six months, from April 1, 2024, to September 30, 2024. This study included 400 patients diagnosed with T2DM, comprising 244 males and 156 females. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and clinical assessments, including demographic details, physiological parameters, comorbidities, and renal, ocular, respiratory, psychological, and gastrointestinal symptoms. Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test and Mann-Whitney test, with a p-value <0.05 considered significant. Results The study findings showed that males exhibited significantly higher weight (p<0.001) and heart rate (p<0.001), while females had significantly higher random blood sugar levels (p<0.001). Females were more likely to belong to the middle socioeconomic class, whereas males had a higher history of smoking (p<0.001). Significant gender-based differences were observed in symptoms such as frequent urination (p<0.001), blurry vision (p<0.001), bilateral edema (p=0.007), dyspnea (p=0.012), burning foot pain (p<0.001), muscular cramps (p<0.001), fatigue (p=0.005), mood changes (p=0.001), and increased thirst (p<0.001). Conclusion This study concluded that significant gender-based differences were observed in various clinical characteristics and symptoms among patients with T2DM. Male patients were found to have a higher mean weight and heart rate, while female patients exhibited higher levels of random blood sugar, as well as a higher prevalence of certain symptoms such as blurry vision, bilateral edema, difficulty breathing, and chest tightness.
