Time-restricted eating for patients with diabetes and prediabetes: A systematic review.
Synthesis in Frontiers in nutrition, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Background: Several studies have explored the effect of time-restricted eating (TRE) on patients with diabetes and prediabetes. However, these studies have not been analyzed and summarized as a whole. We conducted a systematic review to summarize and analyze all studies about the efficacy and safety of TRE for patients with diabetes and prediabetes. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of the Embase, PubMed and Cochrane databases and the time span was from inception to 1 May 2022. The Cochrane Collaboration's Risk of Bias 2 (RoB2) and ROBINS-I tools were used to evaluate the quality of included studies. The effect of TRE on weight loss, insulin sensitivity, plasma glucose, and the safety of TRE were summarized and analyzed. Results: In total, 7 studies with 326 participants including 5 articles with 217 patients with diabetes and 2 articles with 109 patients with prediabetes were included. The TRE windows were from 4 to 10 h. The percentages of females ranged from 0 to 90%. The mean age ranged from 35.2 to 67.5 years, and most of patients adhered to TRE. All studies were assessed as high quality. TRE may result in weight loss, and improvements in the insulin sensitivity and plasma glucose, with no severe AEs. Conclusion: Time-restricted eating is a safe and feasible intervention, and may offer cardiovascular and metabolic benefits for patients with diabetes and prediabetes. Studies in this field, which should be viewed as important, are limited. Therefore, more high-quality studies are needed.
