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

aimsAccurate identification of individuals with maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) can support precision diabetes management. However, diagnosing MODY is challenging due to overlapping clinical features with type 2 diabetes. We aimed to develop a prediction model for identifying Chinese with high likelihood of MODY for further genetic testing.

methodsWe developed a logistic regression model using clinical data from an unselected cohort of 1021 Chinese with young-onset (age at diagnosis ≤ 40) non-type 1 diabetes enrolled in the Hong Kong Diabetes Register, 1.9% (n = 19) of whom had MODY (GCK-, HNF1A-, HNF4A- and HNF1B-MODY) by molecular confirmation. We validated the model in an independent local cohort of 822 Chinese with young-onset non-type 1 diabetes. We compared the performance of the new Chinese-specific MODY prediction model with an existing MODY probability calculator in the validation cohort.

resultsThe prediction model comprised the following clinical variables: current age, age at diagnosis, sex, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglyceride and fasting C-peptide. It demonstrated acceptable discrimination of patients with MODY in the validation dataset, with an area under the curve of 0.813 (95% confidence interval 0.647-0.979). At the probability cut-off of 50%, the model achieved a sensitivity of 72.7% and a specificity of 92.4%. It allows identification of one MODY case in every nine genetic tests conducted.

conclusionWe developed a comprehensive Chinese-specific MODY prediction model. This model can be used in unselected Chinese with young-onset non-type 1 diabetes to identify high-risk individuals for genetic testing.
