Predictor factors of uncontrolled diabetes.
Synthesis in BMC endocrine disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveThe most significant challenge faced by individuals with diabetes is poor blood sugar control. The objective of this review is to identify the most crucial predictors of poor glycemic control among patients with diabetes. MATERIALS: This review employed a comprehensive approach, utilizing all available analytical cross-sectional, case control and cohort studies to ascertain the pooled odds ratio/risk ratio of uncontrolled diabetes. The review encompassed articles from international databases, including Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar without restrictions on publication date or language. Data extraction was conducted until May 11, 2024, with statistical analyses performed using Stata 17 software, employing a random effects model at a 95% confidence level.
resultsOut of 157,841 records, a total of 59 cross-sectional studies, 4 case-control studies, and 3 cohort studies were included, comprising 284,558 participants with a mean age of 53.78 years (SD = 6.33). There was no statistically significant association between the seven factors analyzed-age, gender, smoking status, education level, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and BMI. However, we observed a significant decrease in the likelihood of poor glycemic control with each unit increase in physical activity. Specifically, as physical activity levels increased, the likelihood of poor glycemic control decreased (adjusted OR 0.41; 95% CI: 0.24, 0.72; p-value = 0.02).
conclusionOur systematic review and meta-analysis study showed that increased levels of physical activity in individuals with type 2 diabetes enhance the chances of achieving better glycemic control.
