Effectiveness of community-based Baduanjin combined with resistance training on cardiometabolic risk factors in older adults with type 2 diabetes: a 16-week randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Frontiers in endocrinology, 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: Baduanjin and resistance training improve metabolism and function; however, it is unclear whether their combination reduces cardiometabolic risk in older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to determine the effects of 16-week BDJ combined with resistance training on cardiometabolic risk parameters in older adults with T2DM. Methods: An assessor-blinded, randomized controlled. A total of 123 participants were enrolled and randomly assigned to either an intervention group (IG) that received a 16-week supervised BDJ combined with resistance training exercise program (2-3 sessions/week, 60 min/session, n=60) or a control group (CG) that received traditional health education without structured exercise (n=63). Participants in the CG were instructed to maintain their usual daily activities and attend monthly health education talks. The primary outcomes were glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) level, body composition, and handgrip strength. The secondary endpoints were blood pressure and lipid levels. Assessments for all outcome measures were performed at baseline and at 4-month follow-up. Results: Statistically significant group-by-time interactions were observed for weight (B = -1.30, 95% CI [-2.17, -0.44], Conclusions: This study provides evidence that a 16-week program combining BDJ with resistance training can be successfully implemented in a diabetes self-management group for older adults with T2DM. By improving glycemic control, muscle strength, and body composition, the intervention improved selected cardiometabolic risk markers in older adults with T2DM.
