Unmasking Gastroparesis in Diabetes During Ramadan: Challenges and Management Strategies.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 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
Gastroparesis, characterized by delayed gastric emptying without mechanical obstruction, is a recognized complication of long-standing diabetes. Its pathophysiology involves, amongst other mechanisms, autonomic dysfunction due to vagal nerve damage, impaired smooth muscle contractility, and hormonal dysregulation of intestinal motility. During Ramadan, fasting causes significant dietary changes due to prolonged fasting and the consumption of large meals for Iftar (breaking of fast), which may unmask or worsen gastroparesis symptoms in individuals with diabetes. Symptoms such as early satiety, bloating, nausea, and glycemic fluctuations can further complicate diabetes management during fasting. This paper highlights the relationship between Ramadan fasting and gastroparesis in individuals with diabetes, exploring underlying mechanisms, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and management strategies. A multidisciplinary approach involving dietary modifications, medication adjustments, lifestyle changes, and individualized medical counseling is essential for safe fasting, alongside the option to avoid fasting in individuals who are deemed too high at risk for fasting. Further research is needed to assess the prevalence of subclinical gastroparesis in fasting individuals with diabetes and to optimize risk stratification and management in these patients.
