1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) presents significant public health challenges in India, where unique genetic and phenotypic characteristics elevate susceptibility. Recent research highlights the interaction of genetic polymorphisms and dietary factors in T2DM management, forming the basis of personalised nutrition interventions. This study outlines the protocol for NUDGE clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of gene-based dietary strategies compared to standard recommendations in T2DM management. Methods: The NUDGE trial is an exploratory, open-label, parallel-group, randomised controlled clinical trial conducted across healthcare settings in Chandigarh, India. A total of 300 participants diagnosed with T2DM will be randomised into intervention and control groups. The intervention group will receive personalised diet plans based on genetic polymorphisms ( Discussion: Primary outcomes focus on changes in FBG, while secondary outcomes include weight and blood pressure. Statistical analyses will evaluate gene-diet interactions and adherence to dietary plans. The trial aims to establish evidence for precision nutrition in T2DM by leveraging gene-diet interactions to tailor interventions. Findings will provide insights into the role of personalised nutrition in improving glycemic control. Conclusion: The NUDGE trial seeks to advance precision nutrition in T2DM management, paving the way for individualised dietary recommendations to mitigate disease progression and complications.
