The interplay between type 2 diabetes mellitus and sepsis: a scoping review.
Article in International journal of medical sciences, 2026. 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
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) influence sepsis onset and progression. This scoping review mapped 33 studies from PubMed and Scopus up to June 2025 that examined immune, genetic, metabolic, prognostic, clinical, or treatment-related outcomes in patients with T2DM and sepsis. Sepsis patients with T2DM were prone to infections. Immune dysregulation in diabetic sepsis involved sustained pro-inflammatory cytokine release, impaired anti-inflammatory responses and altered immune cell profiles. Multi-organ dysfunction was more severe in T2DM. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 polymorphisms increased sepsis susceptibility and amplified inflammation. Poor glycaemic control, advanced diabetes, and comorbidities worsened sepsis outcomes and prolonged hospitalisation. Mortality findings in diabetic sepsis were inconsistent. Insulin influenced sepsis outcomes by C-peptide modulation. Metformin, sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, and statins exhibited immunomodulatory effects. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and ulinastatin restored immune function and suppressed inflammation. Larger multi-ethnic studies are warranted to define optimal glycaemic targets, uncover immune-metabolic interactions, identify biomarkers, and optimise T2DM management in sepsis.
