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

introductionThe prevalence of diabetes varies widely among racial/ethnic groups in Hawai'i. How prevalence varies by age for Asian subgroups and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islanders (NHOPIs) is understudied. We examined diabetes prevalence by age and race/ethnicity and assessed how socioeconomic status and lifestyle behaviors affected prevalence among Japanese, Filipino, Chinese, NHOPI, and white populations in Hawai'i.

methodsWe studied 18,200 subjects aged 18 or older from the Hawai'i Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. We performed Poisson regression analyses to examine the prevalence of diabetes by race/ethnicity, age, sex, marital status, education, income, health care coverage, obesity, smoking and drinking status, physical activity, and fruit and vegetable consumption and examined the interactions of these factors with age and race/ethnicity.

resultsWe found disparities in diabetes prevalence among respondents aged 35 to 44 and among Asians and NHOPIs, and disparities increased with age. NHOPIs and Filipinos had the highest prevalence of diabetes after controlling for other demographic factors and lifestyle variables. Japanese adults were less likely than NHOPIs and Filipinos to have diabetes; however, whites had the lowest prevalence. Income, physical activity, and obesity were the strongest predictors of diabetes.

conclusionNHOPIs and Filipinos have higher rates of diabetes compared with other races/ethnicities in Hawai'i. More research is needed to reduce diabetes disparities among NHOPI and Filipino populations in Hawai'i. This study also shows the importance of conducting age-specific analyses of racial/ethnic-subgroups for health disparities.
