Assessment of cardiorespiratory fitness and body composition in marathon runners with type 1 diabetes: an observational study.
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 NCT06935903 (Assessment of Physical Capacity and Metabolic Parameters in Marathon Runners With Type 1 Diabetes), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
backgroundIndividuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) participating in extreme physical exertion, such as marathon running, pose unique challenges for both participants and their healthcare teams. Several reports have documented the successful completion of marathons by individuals and groups with T1DM. Understanding these athletes’ metabolic characteristics and physical performance could lead to safer and more effective management strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the cardiorespiratory fitness and body composition of individuals with T1DM who ran a marathon.
methodsFive men with T1DM and five healthy controls who had completed a marathon took part in this study. Each participant underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to assess body composition, indirect calorimetry to measure resting metabolic rate, and a maximal exercise test on a cycle ergometer to determine maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max).
resultsWe included men aged 44.0 (34.00–48.0) years with diabetes duration of 10.0 (6.0–14.0) years. Their median body mass index was 22.5 (22.0-23.3) and glycated hemoglobin was 5.8 (5.6–6.9)%. Three out of five participants achieved a time in range exceeding 70% for the 90 days preceding the marathon. Their glycemic variability coefficient was 34.6 (27.8–39.5)%. The median fat tissue content was 21.8 (20.2–24.7)%. and muscle tissue content was 73.6 (70.5–74.1)%. The median basal metabolic rate was 1932.0 (1859.0-2046.0) kcal. and the VO2 max was 44.2 (36.5–44.3) ml•kg-1•min-1. Healthy controls did not differ significantly in VO2max and metabolic parameters.
conclusionsPeople with type 1 diabetes who complete a marathon demonstrate good metabolic control and adequate cardiorespiratory fitness for recreational marathon running.
