Prevalence rate of diabetes mellitus and impaired fasting glycemia in Hungary: cross-sectional study on nationally representative sample of people aged 20-69 years.
Article in Croatian medical journal, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimTo obtain correct evaluation of the prevalence rate of diabetes mellitus and impaired fasting glycemia (IFG) in Hungary.
methodThe study was performed on a nationally representative sample covered by the Hungarian General Practitioners' Morbidity Sentinel Stations Program. The source population consisted of all persons aged 20-69 years who were registered with the participating centers. The prevalence rates were adjusted to age and sex distribution of the total Hungarian population. Fasting blood samples of 1803 participants were evaluated. Response rate was 90.7%.
resultsIn addition to 130 (7.21%) patients with established diabetes, 26 participants with newly diagnosed diabetes were found, resulting in a total crude diabetes prevalence of 8.65% (men: 11.16%; women: 6.41%; P<0.001). After weighting for age and sex, the prevalence rate of diabetes in participants aged 20-69 years should be set at 7.47% (95% confidence interval [CI], 6.26-8.69) (men: 9.49%; 95% CI, 7.52-11.46; women: 5.58%; 95% CI, 4.12-7.04). In addition to 41 (2.27%) patients with established IFG (fasting blood glucose: 6.1-6.9 mmol/L), 47 participants with newly diagnosed IFG were found, resulting in a total crude IFG prevalence of 4.88% (men: 6.11%; women: 3.78%; P=0.022). After making corrections for weighting age and sex, the total IFG prevalence rate in participants aged 20-69 years should be set at 4.39% (95% CI, 3.44-5.34) (men: 5.52%; 95% CI, 3.99-7.06; women: 3.33%; 95% CI, 2.19-4.47).
conclusionThe prevalence rate of diabetes and IFG in Hungary is higher than previously estimated by experts and authorities. The present data may serve as a base for comparative investigations in the future.
