Early-Onset Type 2 Diabetes in Bangladesh: National Estimates and Risk Correlates.
Article in AACE endocrinology and diabetes. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Objective: Early-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D) is an emerging public health concern. Despite its rising burden, national data on the prevalence and risk factors in Bangladesh remain scarce. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of early-onset T2D and identify risk factors among young people in Bangladesh. Methods: This nationwide, population-based survey encompassed 2,300 young people-adolescents (10-18 years) and young adults (19-34 years)-from rural and urban sites across 8 divisions of Bangladesh using multistage random sampling in 2024. Glycemic status (by oral glucose tolerance test except in pre-existing diabetes mellitus), fasting lipid profile, sociodemographics, lifestyle, anthropometry, and blood pressure were assessed. Glucose was measured by the glucose-oxidase method, and lipids by the enzymatic method. Results: Prevalence of early-onset T2D and prediabetes was 4.5% (104/2,300) and 18.4% (423/2,300), respectively. Among those with diabetes, 66.3% (69/104) were newly diagnosed. Diabetes prevalence was higher in young adults (89/1,182; 7.5%) than in adolescents (15/1,118; 1.3%), and in urban residents (65/1,079; 6.0%) than in rural residents (39/1,221; 3.2%) ( Conclusion: Early-onset T2D affects 4.5% of young people in Bangladesh, whereas 18.4% have prediabetes. Prevalence is higher in young adults and urban residents. Suboptimal physical activity, smokeless tobacco use, central obesity, hypertension, and hypertriglyceridemia are key risk factors.
