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

backgroundType 2 diabetes has been associated with impaired thermoregulatory responses to increased core body temperature, making patients more vulnerable to heat-related disorders. Although recent studies have investigated these diabetes-related impairments in heat loss mechanisms, our understanding of the occurring phenomena remains unclear due to the complexity of results and the various factors contributing to increased core body temperature.

objectiveTo address the following Population/Exposure/Comparator/Outcome (PECO) question: what is the effect of an increase in core body temperature level (E) on the vasomotor and sudomotor responses and the physiological and molecular mechanisms that control these responses (O) within individuals with type 2 diabetes (P) compared to healthy individuals at the same level of core body temperature (between-group comparisons) and/or type 2 diabetes patients at lower or normal core body temperature level (within-group comparisons) (C)?

methodsThis protocol will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. A thorough database search will be conducted in PubMed and Embase using tested and validated search algorithms. Experimental (randomized and non-randomized controlled trial) or observational studies with type 2 diabetes populations and have measured core body temperature will be included. A narrative synthesis will be conducted and if possible, meta-analysis will be performed. Risk of bias will be assessed using the Office of Health Assessment and Translation tool. DISCUSSION: The results from this review will expand our knowledge of the physiological mechanisms through which type 2 diabetes impairs heat loss under hyperthermic conditions and inform guidelines to mitigate heat-related risks in type 2 diabetes populations.
