Effect of intermittent fasting on diabetic patients-A narrative review.
Review in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Managing diabetes requires careful food choices, especially for those with limited access to nutritious options. Intermittent fasting (IF) has emerged as a promising strategy for improving outcomes in both type 1 (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by stabilizing blood glucose levels and aiding in weight management. This review explores various methods of IF, including the 16/8 method, 5:2 diet, Eat-Stop-Eat, and others, highlighting their potential benefits such as weight loss, improved insulin sensitivity, and glucose tolerance. Although IF shows promise, particularly in T2DM, it poses risks like hypoglycemia and dehydration, particularly in T1DM. Safe practices include consulting healthcare providers, monitoring glucose and ketone levels, and adjusting medications. This review highlights the need for individualized approaches to IF to optimize diabetes management and mitigate risks.
