TOTUM-63, a plant-based polyphenol-rich extract, improves glycaemic control in subjects with prediabetes or early stage newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Trial report in Diabetes, obesity & metabolism, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
aimThe plant-based polyphenol-rich extract TOTUM-63 improves glucose homeostasis in various preclinical models of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). A pilot exploratory study showed that TOTUM-63 has good safety and tolerability profiles, and beneficial effects on postprandial glucose control in healthy individuals with overweight. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of TOTUM-63 on glycaemic control in individuals with prediabetes or early stage newly-diagnosed T2D (which does not require pharmacological treatment). MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study was a multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Individuals with prediabetes or early stage newly-diagnosed T2D and with overweight/abdominal obesity received TOTUM-63 (5 g/day) or placebo for 6 months. The primary outcome was the change in fasting blood glucose.
resultsFifty-one participants (age: 57.1 ± 10 years; body mass index: 31.3 ± 5.7 kg.m
conclusionsTOTUM-63 lowered fasting blood glucose in participants with impaired fasting glycaemia and glucose intolerance. Moreover, TOTUM-63 showed a good safety and tolerability profile and improved several metabolic syndrome features. Therefore, TOTUM-63 is a promising candidate for T2D prevention.
