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

East Asians are known to develop diabetes mellitus at a lower body weight than Caucasians, potentially because of the different mechanisms underlying disease development. This study aimed to evaluate the variation in weight transition leading to diabetes onset in two subtypes of individuals (obese and non-obese) in a Japanese population. We conducted a retrospective, observational, longitudinal cohort study using health checkup data from 9, 260 participants in Japan. Individuals who developed diabetes within three years of the start of the observation period were excluded. Among the participants, 61.4% were men, and 259 developed diabetes. In the obesity group (body mass index [BMI] ≥25 kg/m
