Impact of Ramadan intermittent fasting on metabolic and inflammatory profiles in type 2 diabetic patients.
Article in Journal of diabetes and metabolic disorders, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of Ramadan intermittent fasting on metabolic and inflammatory profiles in type 2 diabetic patients (T2D). Methods: It was a prospective study including 55 T2D patients treated with oral hypoglycemic drugs, who intended to observe Ramadan fasting in 2019. All participants underwent a questionnaire, a physical examination, laboratory investigations, and a cardiovascular risk assessment using the Framingham score before Ramadan (T0), immediately after Ramadan (T1), and two months after Ramadan (T2). Results: The mean age of participants was 54.5 ± 10.1 years. The number of fasted days was 29.3 ± 2.3 days. The mean total daily calorie intake decreased significantly by 19% during Ramadan ( Conclusions: Ramadan fasting in T2D patients seems to have a favorable impact on anthropometric parameters and inflammatory profile. However, it may cause a transient worsening of glycemic control.
