Effect of upper limb sensorimotor training and resistance training in the management of patients with type 2 diabetes: a randomized controlled trial.

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
Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a major global health concern characterized by chronic hyperglycemia and progressive multisystem involvement. One of its most prevalent complications is diabetic peripheral neuropathy which contributes to impaired neuromuscular function, reduced sensation, diminished motor control and functional disability of the upper limb (UL). Objectives: We evaluated the efficacy of sensorimotor training (SMT) and resistance training (RT) on grip strength, manual dexterity and neurophysiological evaluation in patients suffering from T2D. This study might contribute to better management of UL functions in these patients. Design: Randomized controlled trial (RCT). Methods: 96 T2D patients were allocated into RT group; SMT group; and control group. Primary outcomes i.e. grip strength and manual dexterity as well as secondary outcomes i.e. musculocutaneous nerve latency (MCNL), musculocutaneous nerve action potential amplitude (MCNAPA), axillary nerve latency (ANL) and axillary nerve action potential amplitude (ANAPA) were measured at three-time points. Data was analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA with post-hoc testing, and a significance level of Results: Within-group comparison pointed to a statistically significant improvement for all the variables (grip strength Conclusion: Both the experimental groups showed improvement in all the outcome variables. RT was more effective in improving grip strength and nerve amplitude whereas in SMT group, there was more improvement in manual dexterity and nerve latency. Further study was needed to generalize these results as it was a single-centered study.
