Association between neck circumference and incidence of type 2 diabetes in Chinese adults: a longitudinal community-based study.
Article in Nutrition journal, 2026. 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
backgroundAlthough previous studies have assessed the association between baseline neck circumference (NC) and incidence of type 2 diabetes(T2D), the dynamic associations remain unclear, due to lack of longitudinal data with repeated NC measurements in large cohorts. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the associations between dynamic changes in NC and the risk of developing T2D in a Chinese cohort.
methodsThis study included 56,549 participants (mean [SD] age at baseline, 50.6 [14.3] years) from the Kailuan study who were free of T2D and have completed NC measurement at 2014 survey and at least one follow-up survey. The cumulative average NC and the percentage change in NC were calculated. The associations between NC parameters (baseline NC, cumulative average NC, and NC change) and T2D were analyzed using Cox proportional hazards models with hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Joint analyses of long-term NC parameters and body mass index or waist circumference on the risk of T2D were performed.
resultsDuring the mean follow-up of 5.62 years, 3,317 incident T2D cases were identified. The incidence rates of T2D by baseline NC quartiles were 12.62, 13.52, 15.34, and 20.22 per 1000 person-years, respectively. In fully adjusted model, baseline NC (HR [95%CI]: 1.24[1.12,1.37]) and cumulative average NC (HR [95%CI]: 1.51[1.36,1.67]) were positively associated with T2D risk for top vs. bottom quartile, respectively. Compared to NC maintenance group (≥ –2.5% to < 2.5%), the group with NC increased ≥ 5% had a higher risk of T2D (HR [95%CI]: 1.30 [1.16,1.46]). Significant joint effects were found between NC quartiles and body mass index (P for interaction < 0.001), especially for participants with obesity and higher baseline NC or cumulative average NC.
conclusionsIn this prospective study, individuals with persistently high NC values were observed to be associated with higher T2D risk compared to those with consistently low NC values.
