Review in Current diabetes reports, 2018. 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.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purpose of reviewUsing a global perspective, this review collates evidence on the heterogeneity of prediabetes definitions and diagnostic methods, their clinical and public health implications, and discusses possible options for improvement. RECENT

findingsOur review notes that the concept of prediabetes is increasingly recognized worldwide, but against a background of non-uniform definition and diagnostic criteria. This results in widely varying burden estimation. Current evidence shows a variety of prediabetes phenotypes. This reflects biological and diagnostic heterogeneity, resulting from the use of different tests (glucose or HbA
