Effect of thera-band resistance training on diabetic patients with frailty syndrome.
Article in BMC sports science, medicine & rehabilitation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06658106 (Effect of Thera-Band Elastic Band-Assisted Progressive Resistance Training on Physical Health and Frailty Status in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus Complicated by Frailty Syndrome), 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
aimsDiabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most common chronic diseases globally, and most patients suffer from a combination of frailty syndrome (FS) that severely affect their quality of life. To evaluate the effect of Thera-Band elastic band-assisted progressive resistance-exercise training (PRT) on the physical health of patients with DM complicated by FS, and to provide clinical evidence.
methodsPatients with DM complicating FS who received Thera-Band elastic band PRT cases (study group, n = 48), and those who received conventional treatment (control group, n = 48) admitted to Zhejiang Rongjun Hospital from April 2023 to March 2024 were selected for randomized controlled trial (RCT). Blood glucose levels and body function before and after treatment were compared, and patients' handgrip strength (HS) and usual gait speed (UGS) were measured. In addition, the fatigue, resistance, ambulation, illness, and loss of weight (FRAIL) scale and the Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) were used to assess patients' frailty. Their psychological state was also investigated, and adverse reactions during treatment were counted.
resultsThe research group showed lower blood glucose levels, as well as higher Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) scores and levels of HS and UGS than the control group after treatment (P < 0.05). In addition, the frailty status and psychological status of the research group were also demonstrated significant (P < 0.05), while the incidence of adverse reactions was not different from that of the control group (P > 0.05).
conclusionThera-Band elastic band-assisted PRT may alleviate frailty in DM patients with FS and shows promise for clinical application.
