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

backgroundDiabetes is a metabolic disorder that causes a heavy burden on healthcare systems worldwide. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of type 2 diabetes and prediabetes and its associated factors among eight communities in Nanchong, China.

methodsThis was an observational cross-sectional study conducted throughout eight communities in Nanchong, China. The participants were 53,288 individuals aged 45 years or older. The participants' characteristics, comorbidities, health behaviors, family history, and dietary intake were assessed. Multinomial logistic regression models were fitted to identify factors associated with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes.

resultsThe prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes was 13.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 13.6-14.2) and 3.1% (95% CI, 2.9-3.2) of the population, respectively. After adjusting for other risk factors, advanced age, overweight, obesity, abdominal obesity, comorbidities, smoking, a family history of diabetes, and Chinese cooking vegetable intake were associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and prediabetes.

conclusionThe prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the Chinese population is rising compared with data from the past. The risk factors of type 2 diabetes and prediabetes identified in this study will aid the identification of individuals at a high-risk of diabetes and the implementation of effective health promotion programs and campaigns.
