A patient choice-driven lifestyle intervention lowers HbA1c in type 2 diabetes: A feasibility study.
Article in Physiological reports, 2025. 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
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a common metabolic disorder in which only 25% of patients meet management targets. While the primary care setting is positioned to provide lifestyle management education, studies are lacking which integrate behavior interventions in this setting utilizing clinic staff. Thus, we evaluated a 90-day lifestyle intervention for management of glycemia at a family practice clinic administered by clinic medical assistants. Twenty patients with non-insulin-dependent T2D completed a 90-day intervention driven by patient choices of nutrition and physical activity. Medical assistants were trained by members of the study team and administered the intervention under nurse practitioner supervision. HbA1c trended toward significant reduction 8.59 ± 0.9% to 8.15 ± 1.2% (p = 0.051, 95% CI: -0.88 to 0.003). Modest reductions were observed for waist circumference (115.5 ± 12.6 vs. 112.5 ± 15.2 cm; p = 0.014, 95% CI: -5.66 to -0.26), body weight (97.7 ± 21.9 vs. 95.6 ± 23.9 kg; p = 0.016. 95% CI: -3.84 to -0.31), and BMI (33.7 ± 7.2 vs. 32.8 ± 7.5 kg/m
