Impact of Physical Activity on Diabetes Symptoms and Balance in Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes and Healthy Adults: A Comparative Study.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionRecent studies emphasize that lifestyle changes, including physical activity programs, are at least as effective as pharmacological agents in preventing diabetes. The aim of this study was to compare the body composition, presence of diabetes symptoms, and balance of individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and healthy individuals with the same physical activity level.
methodsA total of 68 individuals participated in the study, including 34 diabetic patients (17 with moderate physical activity (MPA) and 17 with low physical activity (LPA)) and 34 healthy controls (17 with MPA and 17 with LPA). The demographic characteristics of all groups; exercise habits; blood parameters (HbA1c, glucose, cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglyceride levels); duration of diabetes; body composition; and how the individual was affected by the symptoms of diabetes and balance were evaluated.
resultsThere was a significantly worse difference in the diabetes symptoms checklist (DSC) score, body composition, and balance between T2D patients with LPA and healthy individuals (p < 0.05). However, when T2D patients and healthy individuals with MPA were compared, the same parameters were found to be better (p > 0.05).
conclusionWhen individuals with T2D and healthy individuals with the same level of physical activity are examined, it is observed that individuals with T2D who engage in MPA are less affected by complications, while those with low levels of physical activity are more affected. Therefore, we believe that increasing physical activity habits will make a significant positive contribution to the control of diabetes.
