Efficacy of Ayurveda treatment protocol in the management of prediabetes- A randomized controlled clinical trial.
Article in Journal of Ayurveda and integrative medicine. 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 subject of intermediate hyperglycaemia and a risk factor for various metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, which are silent in features. Early Screening and preventive measures in terms of diet and lifestyle modification can help reverse the prediabetic stage.
objectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of Ayurveda-based treatment protocol in the management of prediabetes and to compare it with the standard prediabetic care. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 40 patients meeting the criteria of HbA1C 5.7-6.4% and Indian diabetic risk Score of ≥60, with the age group of 18-70 years of either sex, participated in the study. They were randomly divided into two groups in which trial group, intervened with Integrated Ayurveda Treatment Protocol (IATP) contains Triphala lauha churna 3 g twice a day along with Ayurveda dietary and lifestyle intervention and control group received placebo powder 3 g twice a day for 90 days along with standard prediabetic care (SPC). The primary endpoints were changes in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C), fasting blood glucose (FBG), postprandial blood glucose (PPBG), and secondary endpoints were lipid profile, diabetes quality of life (DQOL), and anthropometric measures.
resultsStudy data indicate that IATP showed significant improvement in HbA1C compared to the SPC (p < 0.001). IATP also showed significant improvement in FBG (p < 0.001), PPBG (p = 0.0003), total cholesterol (p = 0.0004), high density lipoprotein (p = 0.003), low density lipoprotein (p = 0.01), serum triglycerides (p = 0.003), serum creatinine (p = 0.0011) and DQOL (p < 0.001). Comparable outcomes were noted in weight (p = 0.24), BMI (p = 0.05), and waist-hip ratio (p = 0.06).
conclusionIATP intervention showed significant improvement in glycaemic outcomes, lipid profile compared to the SPC group. Comparable outcomes were observed in anthropometric measures.
