The Effects of Diabetes on Gas Transfer Capacity, Lung Volumes, Muscle Strength, and Cardio-pulmonary Responses During Exercise.

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
backgroundDiabetes is a risk factor for the development of vascular disease, chronic kidney disease, retinopathy, and neuropathy. Diabetes is a co-morbid condition commonly present in patients with respiratory disorders but the extent to which it influences ventilatory capacity, gas exchange, and functional capacity is not well known. Research question Does the presence of diabetes contribute to impairment in spirometry, gas transfer, and exercise capacity?
methodsRetrospective analysis of all subjects who performed incremental cardio-pulmonary exercise testing (CPET) between 1988 and 2012 at McMaster University Medical Centre. The impact of diabetes on physiological outcomes and maximum power output (MPO) was assessed using stepwise multiple additive linear regression models including age, height, weight, sex, muscle strength, and previous myocardial infarct as co-variates, and was also stratified based on BMI categories.
results40,776 subjects were included in the analysis; 1938 (5%, 66% male) had diabetes. Diabetics were older (59 vs. 53 years), heavier (88.3 vs.78.0 kg), and had a higher BMI (31 vs. 27 kg/m
conclusionThe presence of diabetes is independently associated with weaker muscles, lower ventilatory and gas transfer capacity and translates to a lower exercise capacity. These differences are independent of age, height, weight, sex, and previous MI.
