Weight loss to disrupt type 2 diabetes.
Review in Diabetology international, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Obesity is now recognised as a disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality. One of the most common metabolic complications of obesity is type 2 diabetes, because the two disease share similar pathophysiology. Weight loss is known to ameliorate the metabolic abnormalities underlying type 2 diabetes and improve glycemic control. A 15% or greater total body weight loss (TBWL) in patients with type 2 diabetes will have a disease-modifying effect, a result that is incomparable with other hypoglycemic-lowering interventions. Moreover, in patients with diabetes and obesity, weight loss exerts benefits beyond glycemic control and improves cardiometabolic disease risk factors and well-being. We review evidence supporting the role of intentional weight loss in managing type 2 diabetes. We suggest that many people with type 2 diabetes would benefit from an additional weight-based approach to managing their diabetes. Therefore, we proposed a weight-based treatment goal for patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity.
