Comparison of the current WHO and new ADA criteria for the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus in three ethnic groups in the UK. American Diabetes Association.
Article in Diabetic medicine : a journal of the British Diabetic Association, 1998. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
The American Diabetes Association have recommended that the fasting plasma glucose level for the diagnosis of diabetes is lowered and that this becomes the main diagnostic test. We have used population-based data from three ethnic groups in Newcastle upon Tyne to examine the implications of this change. Data were available on 824 European (25-74 years), 375 Chinese (25-64 years), and 680 South Asian (25-74 years) subjects. All subjects apart from those reporting a prior diagnosis of diabetes underwent a standard 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (WHO criteria) which included the measurement of fasting glucose. The prevalence of diabetes was higher in all three ethnic groups using the new ADA criteria compared to the WHO criteria: 7.1% vs 4.8% in Europeans; 6.2% vs 4.7% in Chinese; and 21.4% vs 20.1% in South Asians. There was much variation in individuals categorized by the ADA and WHO criteria. Agreement between the two for the diagnosis of previously unknown diabetes was only moderate (kappa statistics 0.42 to 0.59). Thus in the populations studied the new criteria would increase the prevalence of diabetes in addition to classifying some individuals diabetic by current criteria as non-diabetic. It should be stressed however that diagnosis of the individual should not be based on a single test.
