Association between night blindness history and risk of diabetes in the Chinese population: a multi-center, cross sectional study.
Article in BMC endocrine disorders, 2024. 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
aimsNight blindness (NB), an important manifestation of VA deficiency, may be associated with the odds of diabetes. The aim of this study was to explore the probable association between NB history and diabetes in Chinese community-dwelling adults.
methodsThis multi-center, cross-sectional study enrolled a total of 5664 participants aged 18-82 years from eight sites in China. Information on demographics and medical history was collected using a standardized questionnaire. Diabetes was diagnosed based on the oral glucose tolerance test or a self-reported history. NB history was ascertained by a face-to-face interview with reference to the recommendation by the World Health Organization. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between NB history and the odds of diabetes.
resultsA total of 5049 participants were finally included, with 252 ascertained with NB history and 1076 with diabetes. The mean age of included participants was 52.9 years, and the percentage of participants with NB history was significantly higher in participants with diabetes than those without (7.0% vs. 4.5%). The multivariable adjusted odds ratio for diabetes was 1.41 (95% confidence interval 1.06, 1.89) in participants with NB history compared with those without. Furthermore, mediation analysis showed that obesity, as assessed by waist-height ratio, partially mediated the relationship between NB history and increased odds of diabetes.
conclusionsThe results suggest that NB history might be associated with increased odds of diabetes in Chinese community-dwelling adults.
