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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveHigh fasting plasma glucose (HFPG) is a major risk factor for diseases, posing a serious public health challenge. This study examines the global burden of 13 non-communicable diseases (NCDs) attributed to HFPG.

methodsWe used the 2021 GBD Study to analyze deaths and DALYs linked to HFPG( > 4.90-5.30 mmol/L). Socio-Demographic Index (SDI) was used to assess development levels, with subgroup analyses by geography, year, gender, and SDI.

resultsIn 2021, HFPG contributed to 5.15 million deaths and 151.95 million DALYs globally. From 1990 to 2021, the estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) in deaths and DALYs were 0.11 and 0.55, respectively. Diabetes, ischemic heart disease (IHD), and stroke accounted for the most deaths (1.66, 1.35, and 0.84 million). Liver cancer, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and pancreatic cancer showed the fastest mortality increases, with EAPCs of 1.90, 1.69, and 1.34, respectively. IHD and stroke had declining mortality burdens, with EAPCs of -0.13 and -0.98.

conclusionOver 30 years, HFPG-related NCDs have increased globally. Diabetes, IHD, and stroke remain the top burdens, while liver cancer, CKD, and pancreatic cancer are rising fastest. The disease burden in men is higher than in women, except for people with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias and people with blindness and vision loss (BVL).
