Association between insomnia and type 2 diabetes mellitus in Han Chinese individuals in Shandong Province, China.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
purposeDiabetes and sleep disorders are public health threats worldwide, but the potential association between them is still unclear.
methodsWe conducted a community-based cross-sectional study including 5078 participants (2665, 52.5% male) to determine the association between insomnia and diabetes mellitus prevalence.
resultsIn patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and nondiabetic controls, the prevalence of insomnia was 20.2% (68/377) and 12.2% (578/4741), respectively. The results showed that insomnia was associated with T2DM after adjusting for age, sex, BMI, smoking, alcohol consumption, presence of disease history (hypertension, dyslipidemia, stroke, cardiovascular diseases, cancers), and depression (odds ratio [OR] = 1.31, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.03-1.66). After stratifying by age and sex, insomnia was significantly associated with diabetes mellitus only in the subgroup of middle-aged participants (40-59 years) (OR = 1.61, 95% CI 1.16-2.23) and males (OR = 1.48, 95% CI 1.08-2.03) after controlling for the above covariates.
conclusionsThis study suggests that insomnia is independently and significantly associated with diabetes mellitus in the northern Chinese population, especially in the 40-59-year-old age group and in males.
