Specific Micronutrient Intake Association with Diabetic Neuropathy Severity in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes.
Article in Nutrients, 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesDiabetic neuropathy is a prevalent complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but the contribution of dietary factors to neuropathy severity remains insufficiently characterized. This study investigated associations between dietary patterns, nutrient intake, and neuropathy severity in 300 adults with T2DM from Northeastern Romania.
methodsDietary intake was assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire, and five dietary patterns were derived using principal component analysis. Neuropathy severity was analyzed as an ordinal outcome using logistic regression models adjusted for age, sex, HbA1c, diabetes duration, and treatment.
resultsHigher adherence to Western/fast-food and alcohol and animal fat dietary patterns was associated with greater neuropathy severity in unadjusted analyses, whereas a healthy/prudent pattern showed inverse associations; however, these relationships were attenuated after multivariable adjustment. In contrast, higher intakes of protein (OR = 0.98, 95% CI: 0.97-0.99), magnesium (OR = 0.99, 95% CI: 0.98-1.00), zinc (OR = 0.80, 95% CI: 0.69-0.94), vitamin B3 (OR = 0.94, 95% CI: 0.89-0.99), and vitamin B12 (OR = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.62-0.93) remained independently associated with lower neuropathy severity after adjustment.
conclusionsThese findings suggest that specific nutrient intakes may be more strongly associated with diabetic neuropathy severity than overall dietary patterns, highlighting potential nutritional targets for neuropathy risk reduction and clinical management in patients with T2DM.
