Handgrip strength and walking pace negatively impact the incidents of diabetes mellitus among people with HIV: a prospective cohort study in China.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. 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
backgroundWe aimed to examine the associations of handgrip strength and walking pace with the risk of incident diabetes mellitus (DM) among people with HIV (PWH).
designA cohort study.
settingThis study was conducted in Taizhou City Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Zhejiang Province, mainland China.
participantsA total of 1916 participants (mean age 43.3±14.2 years, 77.7% male) without diagnosed or unknown DM at baseline from the Comparative HIV and Aging Research in Taizhou cohort were included. OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome was incident DM, defined by fasting glucose >7.0 mmol/L, HbA1c concentration >6.5% or diagnosed with DM by a doctor during the period of follow-up.
resultsDuring a mean follow-up of 3.2 years, 184 incident DM cases were identified. Overall, there was a significant inverse association between both handgrip strength and walking pace with the risk of incident DM in PWH. Compared with participants with lower handgrip strength (<32.1 and <20.3 kg for males and females) or slower walking pace (<2.1 miles/hour), those with higher handgrip strength (≥32.1 and ≥20.3 kg for males and females) or faster walking pace (≥2.1 miles/hour) had a lower risk of incident DM, the adjusted HR (aHRs) (95% CI were 0.60 (0.42 to 0.85) and 0.59 (0.42 to 0.83), respectively. A higher handgrip strength and a faster walking pace were responsible for 38.0% and 39.7% of DM cases, respectively. Moreover, the lowest risk of incident DM was observed in participants with both higher handgrip strength and faster walking pace (aHR, 0.44; 95% CI 0.25 to 0.76).
conclusionHigher handgrip strength or faster walking pace was significantly associated with a reduced risk of incident DM among PWH.
