Socioeconomic position and the incidence of type 2 diabetes: the ELSA 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
We examined the associations between childhood and adult socioeconomic position (SEP) and incident diabetes in 7,432 individuals aged 50 or older from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA). We identified 174 and 189 cases of incident diabetes, in men and women, respectively, over 5.3 years of follow-up. Cox models were estimated. In women, childhood SEP, education, occupational class, income, wealth, and subjective social status (SSS) were related to incident diabetes. Occupational class, income, and SSS did not remain significantly related to incident diabetes after adjustment for individual sets of covariates (i.e. unhealthy behaviours, obesity, or psychosocial factors). Wealth (HR: 1.65, 95 % CI: 1.05, 2.60, poorest vs. wealthiest tertile) remained significantly related to incident diabetes after adjustment for all covariates, but education (HR: 1.46, 95 % CI: 0.92, 2.33, lowest vs. highest category) and childhood SEP (HR: 1.47, 95 % CI: 0.98, 2.19, lowest vs. highest category) did not. In men, only wealth and SSS were related to incident diabetes. SSS remained significantly related to incident diabetes after adjustment for all covariates (HR: 2.46, 95 % CI: 1.32, 4.68, lowest vs. highest category), but wealth did not (HR: 1.42, 95 % CI: 0.94, 2.15, poorest vs. wealthiest tertile). Additional adjustment for wealth did not greatly affect the association between incident diabetes and SSS in men. Incident diabetes in older women is associated with SEP from all life stages, while in older men only with current SEP. Psychosocial factors (in women), unhealthy behaviours, and obesity partly mediate these associations.
