1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Type 2 diabetes mellitus predisposes patients to abnormally increased atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk and deteriorated lower extremity functional status. Objective: To evaluate the effect of combined application of moderate to high intensity interval training and low frequency pulsed electromagnetic therapy on atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk and lower extremity function in older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Fifty-four patients (age 45-60 years) with type 2 diabetes mellitus were randomly allocated into four groups: group A underwent moderate to high intensity interval training plus low frequency pulsed electromagnetic therapy for 8 weeks (n=13), group B received low frequency pulsed electromagnetic therapy (n=14), group C underwent moderate to high intensity interval training (n=13), and group D were the controls (n=14). The 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk was evaluated using the Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk Estimator Plus tool, while lower extremity function was assessed using the Short Physical Performance Battery. Statistical comparisons were conducted within and between groups using SPSS 20. A
