Healthy lifestyle factors and combined macrovascular and microvascular events in diabetes patients with high cardiovascular risk: results from ADVANCE.
Trial report in BMC medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundTo explore whether healthy lifestyle factors (HLFs) predict a lower risk of major macrovascular and microvascular events and death in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with a high risk of vascular complications.
methodsPost hoc analyses of 11,133 participants with T2D in the Action in Diabetes and Vascular Disease: Preterax and Diamicron Modified Release Controlled Evaluation (ADVANCE) trial who were assigned a score ranging from 0 to 4 based on the number of baseline HLFs: never smoked, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, ideal waist/hip ratio, and low-to-moderate alcohol consumption. Multivariable Cox models were used to determine associations of 0, 1, 2, and ≥ 3 HLFs with vascular events and all-cause mortality.
resultsCompared to participants with no HLFs, hazard ratios for participants with 3 or 4 HLFs were 0.68 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.57-0.81) for the composite of major macrovascular or microvascular events, 0.58 (0.46-0.75) for major macrovascular events, 0.78 (0.61-0.99) for microvascular events, and 0.48 (0.37-0.63) for all-cause mortality during a median follow-up of 5 years. Each increment in HLF score was significantly associated with lower rates of these outcomes. There was no heterogeneity in the effect on any outcome by HLF across randomized intensive blood glucose control and blood pressure lowering treatments.
conclusionsHLFs are associated with lower risks of major macrovascular and microvascular events and lower rates of death in high-risk adults with T2D.
