Distinct dietary patterns across type 2 diabetes subtypes: Insights from the SMART2D cohort.
Article in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2026. 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesWe previously identified three validated clinical subtypes of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in a multi-ethnic Southeast Asian cohort, but their dietary patterns remained uncharacterised. This cross-sectional analysis explored whether dietary patterns differ across T2D subtypes and examined subtype-specific associations with diabetes-related comorbidities. SUBJECTS/
methodsDietary patterns were derived using factor analysis of 46 food groups from 1007 T2D adults (age:61 ± 11 years, 52.7% male) who completed a 125-item food frequency questionnaire. T2D subtypes including mild age-related diabetes with insulin insufficiency (MARD-II), mild obesity-related diabetes (MOD), and severe insulin-resistant diabetes with relative insulin insufficiency (SIRD-RII) were classified using the nearest centroid approach. Each participant's predominant dietary pattern was defined by their highest factor score. Associations between T2D subtypes and dietary pattern scores, and between predominant dietary patterns and comorbidities within each subtype, were assessed using multivariable regression analysis.
resultsThree patterns were identified: meat, fast food & eat-out; sugar-laden food & drinks; and plant-based & dairy. Among MARD-II, 40.0% had a predominant plant-based & dairy pattern, whereas both MOD and SIRD-RII had predominant sugar-laden food & drinks (~38%), followed by meat, fast food & eat-out (~31%) patterns. Compared with MARD-II, MOD and SIRD-RII were positively associated with meat, fast food & eat-out pattern and inversely with plant-based & dairy pattern (all P < 0.001). Predominant sugar-laden food & drinks and meat, fast food & eat-out patterns were differentially associated with comorbidities, particularly in MOD and SIRD-RII.
conclusionsOur findings suggest distinct dietary intake/patterns and subtype-specific associations with comorbidities in multi-ethnic Southeast Asians with T2D.
