1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesto evaluate the effectiveness of cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) in reducing anthropometric measurements in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

methodsa randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted with 140 participants, divided into an experimental group (n = 71) and a control group (n = 69). The experimental group consumed 3 g/day of encapsulated cinnamon for 90 days. Anthropometric variables were measured at baseline and at the end of the study, with intra-group comparisons performed using a paired t-test.

resultsthe majority of participants were women (69.2%) with a mean age of 61 years. Reductions were observed in weight (-0.8 kg, p =0.11), body mass index (-0.36 kg/m2, p =0.16), body adiposity index (-1.02%, p =0.38), waist circumference (-3.97 cm, p =0.67), neck circumference (-0.45 cm, p = 0.68), and hip circumference (-1.83 cm, p =0.49), none of which were statistically significant (p > 0.05).

conclusionscinnamon supplementation resulted in reductions in anthropometric measurements compared to placebo, but these differences were not statistically significant.
