How can we identify candidates at highest risk--to screen or not to screen?
Article in Herz, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05440968 (Comparative Effectiveness of Point-of-care Glycosylated Hemoglobin Measurement), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper, 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

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) causes a large economic and health-care burden globally. This article summarizes the benefits and unsolved questions of screening for T2D. Many T2D risk assessment tools have been developed. Furthermore, current evidence has shown that T2D can be prevented by lifestyle interventions, justifying T2D screening. However, information is scarce on the long-term impact of T2D screening regarding health outcomes such as cardiovascular disease. Moreover, it is not certain whether health-care facilities and health-care staff are capable of implementing screening activities and subsequent interventions among high-risk individuals; lifestyle management tasks in particular are often not among the best skills that health-care personnel possess. Also, there is a lack of evidence for the periodicity of population-wide screening activities. As national health-care systems increasingly implement T2D screening, we may receive in the near future answers to some of our remaining research questions to fully assess the benefits and disadvantages of screening.
