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

objectivesThe aim of this study was to compare the ability of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), post-load plasma glucose values and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) to predict progression to diabetes in non-diabetic first-degree relatives (FDR) of patients with type 2 diabetes.

methodsA total of 701 non-diabetic FDR of diabetic patients aged 20-70 years surveyed in 2003 to 2005 were followed until 2008 for the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus. At baseline and at follow-ups, participants underwent a standard 75 g 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Prediction of progression to type 2 diabetes was assessed by using area under the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves based upon measurement of FPG, post-load glucose values and HbA1c.

resultsThe incidence of type 2 diabetes was 33.9 per 1000 person-years in men and 48.6 in women. The incidence rates were 4.6, 50.7, and 99.7 per 1000 person-years in FDR with normal glucose tolerance, impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance respectively. FPG value was a better predictor of progression to diabetes than any post-load glucose values or HbA1c. The areas under the ROC curves were 0.811 for fasting, 0.752 for 1/2-hour, 0.782 for 1-hour and 0.756 for 2-hour glucose vs. 0.634 for HbA1c (p < 0.001).

conclusionsFPG had more discriminatory power to distinguish between individuals at risk for diabetes and those who were not at risk than post-load glucose values during OGTT or HbA1c. Our findings support the American Diabetes Association recommendation of using FPG concentration to diagnose diabetes.
