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.

Abstract

objectiveTo determine the extent to which intensive dietary intervention can influence glycaemic control and risk factors for cardiovascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes who are hyperglycaemic despite optimised drug treatment.

designRandomised controlled trial.

settingDunedin, New Zealand.

participants93 participants aged less than 70 years with type 2 diabetes and a glycated haemoglobin (HbA(1c)) of more than 7% despite optimised drug treatments plus at least two of overweight or obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidaemia.

interventionIntensive individualised dietary advice (according to the nutritional recommendations of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes) for six months; both the intervention and control participants continued with their usual medical surveillance.

main outcome measuresHbA(1c) was the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes included measures of adiposity, blood pressure, and lipid profile.

resultsAfter adjustment for age, sex, and baseline measurements, the difference in HbA(1c) between the intervention and control groups at six months (-0.4%, 95% confidence interval -0.7% to -0.1%) was highly statistically significant (P=0.007), as were the decreases in weight (-1.3 kg, -2.4 to -0.1 kg; P=0.032), body mass index (-0.5, -0.9 to -0.1; P=0.026), and waist circumference (-1.6 cm, -2.7 to -0.5 cm; P=0.005). A decrease in saturated fat (-1.9% total energy, -3.3% to -0.6%; P=0.006) and an increase in protein (1.6% total energy, 0.04% to 3.1%; P=0.045) in the intervention group were the most striking differences in nutritional intake between the two groups.

conclusionsIntensive dietary advice has the potential to appreciably improve glycaemic control and anthropometric measures in patients with type 2 diabetes and unsatisfactory HbA(1c) despite optimised hypoglycaemic drug treatment.
