Pulmonary Function in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes With and Without Obesity.
Article in CHEST pulmonary, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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: Existing reports show a bidirectional association between type 2 diabetes (T2D) and pulmonary dysfunction. Obesity, which is causally related to both T2D and pulmonary dysfunction, could play an important role in this association. However, this has not been reported. Research Question: What are the associations of measures of obesity with pulmonary function in T2D? Study Design and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study among 464 adults with T2D. Spirometry was performed according to the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society guidelines. The predicted values of the spirometric indices were determined using the Global Lung Function Initiative 2012 equations. The values of FEV Results: The mean age, diabetes duration, and female/male ratio of the participants were 55.09 ± 10.45 years, 10.00 ± 7.36 years, and 2:1, respectively. In a multiple linear regression model, WC was a significant predictor of FVC ( Interpretation: Increasing WC is associated with restrictive spirometry, independent of conventional diabetes and pulmonary risk factors. Future research could explore the role of the reversal of central obesity on pulmonary function in T2D.
