Association between night shift work and the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus: a cohort-based meta-analysis.
Synthesis in BMC endocrine disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe impact of night shift work on the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is not well understood. This meta-analysis assesses the association between night shift work and the risk of developing T2DM and explores this relationship across various subgroups.
methodsWe systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO, and the Cochrane Library from their inception until February 2024. We employed hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) to quantify the association between night shift work and T2DM risk.
resultsOur analysis synthesized data from 9 articles encompassing 10 cohort studies. Overall, night shift workers exhibited a 30% increased incidence of T2DM compared to their daytime counterparts (HR = 1.30, 95% CI: [1.18, 1.43], P < 0.001). Among females, night shift workers had a higher incidence of T2DM (HR = 1.28, 95% CI: [1.16, 1.41]); however, in males, the association was not statistically significant (95% CI: [0.89, 2.63]). For individuals with a body mass index (BMI) > 30 kg/m
conclusionFindings suggest potential link between night shift work and T2DM risk. Longer durations of night shift work may increase the risk of T2DM. There may be gender differences (greater harm in women, but the male sample size is small) and obesity differences.
