Effects of Virtual Reality Exercise Program on Blood Glucose, Body Composition, and Exercise Immersion in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
Trial report in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 3 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
backgroundThis study is a preliminary study to examine the effect of a virtual reality exercise program (VREP) on type 2 diabetes patients.
methodThis is a randomized controlled trial for patients with type 2 diabetes (glycated hemoglobin ≥ 6.5%), diagnosed by a specialist. The virtual reality environment was set up by attaching an IoT sensor to an indoor bicycle and linking it with a smartphone, enabling exercise in an immersive virtual reality through a head-mounted display. The VREP was implemented three times a week, for two weeks. The blood glucose, body composition, and exercise immersion were analyzed at baseline, and two weeks before and after the experimental intervention.
resultAfter VREP application, the mean blood glucose (F = 12.001
conclusionA two week VREP had a positive effect on blood glucose, muscle mass, and exercise immersion in patients with type 2 diabetes, and is highly recommended as an effective intervention for blood glucose control in type 2 diabetes.
