Preventing diabetes mellitus in developing countries.
Review in Nature reviews. Endocrinology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 23 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
By the year 2030, >70% of people living with T2DM will reside in developing countries, and primary prevention of T2DM should be an urgent priority for such regions. The disease predominantly affects working-age persons and has a devastating economic impact, compounded by the frequent occurrence and interaction of T2DM with infectious diseases (such as AIDS and tuberculosis). Evidence from landmark T2DM prevention trials indicates that lifestyle modification is more effective, cheaper and safer than medication and provides sustained benefits. Lifestyle modification is, therefore, the most promising approach to T2DM prevention in developing countries; however, programmes adapted to their specific needs are lacking. Low-cost strategies to identify at-risk individuals, followed by the implementation of group-based, inexpensive lifestyle interventions, seem to be the best options for resource-poor countries. However, widespread implementation of T2DM prevention in developing countries will require coordinated efforts throughout society, along with comprehensive government policies and novel funding sources.
