Prevalence and Determinants of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in a North Indian Population: a Community-Based Cross-Sectional Study.

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
Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a rapidly growing public health challenge in India, driven by urbanization, lifestyle transitions and increasing obesity. Early identification of associated cardiometabolic risk factors is essential to reduce complications and improve disease outcomes. Objectives: To assess the prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes and to evaluate associated clinical and socioeconomic risk factors among patients attending a tertiary care center in North India. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 696 participants who were evaluated for glycemic status, anthropometric measurements, blood pressure and comorbidities. Diabetes and prediabetes were classified according to standard guidelines. Obesity was defined using Asian-specific body mass index (BMI) cut-offs and hypertension was categorized based on established criteria. Sociodemographic and clinical data were collected using structured questionnaires. Statistical analysis was performed using appropriate comparative tests, with p<0.05 being considered statistically significant. Results: Among the study population, 89.08% of subjects had diabetes and 10.92% prediabetes. Overweight and obesity were observed in 31.88% and 19.34% of participants, respectively. Hypertension was highly prevalent, with 34.52% of subjects being classified as Stage 2 and 17.96% Stage 1 hypertension. A positive family history was reported in 23.85% of cases. Most patients had a disease duration of less than five years (56.32%). The clustering of obesity, hypertension and diabetes indicated a significant cardiometabolic overlap. Conclusion: The study highlights a substantial burden of diabetes and its associated modifiable risk factors in a North Indian population. Strengthening early detection strategies, lifestyle modification programs and integrated management approaches is essential to reduce long-term complications and improve public health outcomes.
