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

Heavy alcohol consumption is a known risk factor for type 2 diabetes (T2D), However, the moderating effect of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels remains unclear. This study explores the relationship between alcohol intake and T2D risk across FPG strata in a Japanese cohort. Data from 15,453 participants in the NAGALA cohort were analyzed over 5.4 years. Baseline assessments included alcohol consumption and FPG, categorizing individuals into elevated FPG (EFPG, 100-125 mg/dL) and normal FPG (NFPG, < 100 mg/dL). Cox proportional hazards regression assessed alcohol intake levels and T2D risk, stratified by FPG. Among EFPG individuals, heavy drinkers (Men > 280 g/week, Women > 140 g/week) had an 88% increased T2D risk (HR 1.88, 95% CI 1.24-2.84). Conversely, in NFPG, heavy alcohol intake did not significantly affect T2D risk (HR 1.10, 95% CI 0.48-2.53). Men with EFPG and heavy alcohol intake had an HR of 1.83 (95% CI 1.08-3.08), supported by propensity score matching (HR 1.94, 95% CI 1.13-3.34). No significant relationships were found in NFPG. Heavy alcohol consumption significantly raises T2D risk in Japanese men with EFPG but not in women or those with NFPG. Further studies are warranted for validation and gender-specific insights.
