Efficacy of abdominal vibration technique in Tuina in reducing depression, anxiety, and stress in patients with prediabetes.
Article in World journal of psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
backgroundPrediabetes is a high-risk precursor for diabetes development and is associated with increased psychological distress. Conventional pharmacological treatments for prediabetes have limitations, including adverse effects and poor patient compliance. Tuina's abdominal vibration technique, a traditional non-pharmacological intervention, has shown promising results in glycemic regulation. However, its effects on psychological well-being remain largely unexplored.
aimTo investigate efficacy of abdominal vibration at varying frequencies in Tuina for alleviating psychological and metabolic effects in prediabetes patients.
methodsA prospective cohort study (April 2025 to April 2026) at Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine included 120 prediabetes patients. Participants were allocated to three groups based on vibration frequency: (1) Low-frequency (400 times/minute,
resultsAfter a 3-month intervention period, with follow-ups at 6 months and 12 months, patients in all three groups showed significant improvements in depression, anxiety, and stress scores compared to baseline (
conclusionTuina's abdominal vibration technique, especially at high frequency reduces depression, anxiety, and stress in prediabetes patients, correlating with enhanced glycemic control and insulin sensitivity, suggesting a bidirectional relationship between psychological and metabolic health.
