Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 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
Context: Diabetes causes enormous health burden worldwide, causing serious threat to people's health and wellbeing. It is also highlighted by the International Diabetes Federation that around 537 million people are currently affected by diabetes, and this is expected to rise to 643 million by 2030 and 783 million by 2045, which should be addressed with a multisectoral approach. The health status of diabetic patients at all dimensions (physical, psychological, social, environmental) is unsatisfactory, causing a significant rate of morbidity and mortality. Aim: To assess the holistic health status of patients with type 2 diabetes in all dimensions in a primary health care facility. Study Design: Observational study. Methods and Material: A total of 104 diabetic patients (46.2% female; 53.8% male) were enrolled with a mean age of 51.46 ± 10.22 years (female 49.46 ± 8.56 years; male 53.91 ± 9.75 years). Anthropometric parameters such as body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference, physiological parameters such as heartrate and blood pressure, biochemical parameters such as fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin, Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance using the formula Fasting Insulin × Fasting glucose)/22.5 to assess insulin resistance, lipid profile, blood urea and serum creatinine, and psychological parameters such as perceived stress scale to assess stress level and WHOQOL-BREF scale to assess quality of life were measured. Statistical Analysis Used: Independent Results: The average age of diabetic females was significantly lower than that of the males ( Conclusions: The overall health status of diabetic patients was unsatisfactory, particularly BMI, which is the key indicator to many health issues. Since diabetes affects individuals at all levels, there is a need for integration of complimentary and alternative medical systems such as Yoga therapy for diabetic patients in a primary care center along with medical management which provides a holistic approach improving overall health and wellbeing. Incorporating Yoga therapy for diabetic patients in a primary care center along with medical management helps to overcome the enormous health burden of disease.
