Effect of Almond Milk Versus Cow Milk on Postprandial Glycemia, Lipidemia, and Gastrointestinal Hormones in Patients with Overweight or Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.
Trial report in Nutrients, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundAlmond milk is often seen as a healthier alternative to cow milk. However, its effect on postprandial glycemia compared to 2% milk is unclear. Here, we compared the postprandial glycemic effect of almond milk versus carbohydrate- or caloric-matched 2% milk, each served with oatmeal to patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
methodsIn this crossover, three-way, open-label study, 22 participants (mean age 66 ± 7.4 years, 36% female), with T2D and overweight or obesity, consumed oatmeal served with almond milk (ALM), carbohydrate-matched 2% milk (MLKCRB), or calorie-matched 2% milk (MLKCAL) on separate days and in a random order. The primary outcome was glucose incremental area under the curve for 240 min (iAUC0-240). The secondary outcomes included postprandial serum insulin, glucagon, plasma free fatty acids (FFAs), serum triglycerides, leptin, and gastrointestinal hormones (PYY, active GLP-1, GIP, amylin, cholecystokinin, and ghrelin).
resultsWe did not find any difference in either the primary endpoint or secondary endpoints between the three groups. However, iAUC0-240 for insulin and glucagon was significantly higher in MLKCRB vs. ALM (FDR = 0.002 and 0.02, respectively).
conclusionsAlmond milk does not offer any additional glycemic benefit over 2% milk and does not differ in its postprandial effects on FFAs, serum triglycerides, leptin, and gastrointestinal hormones over 4 h. Nonetheless, carbohydrate-matched 2% milk elicited greater insulin and glucagon response compared to almond milk, warranting further investigation into its long-term implications.
