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

backgroundThe prevalence of prediabetes has been increasing significantly in recent years. Individuals with prediabetes have an increased risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The objectives of this study were to identify risk factors for prediabetes and their interactions among the elderly in rural communities of Hunan Province and to provide a scientific basis for prediabetes prevention.

methodsA case-control study was conducted to explore risk factors for prediabetes among the elderly in rural areas. The general sociodemographic information, lifestyle behaviours, and physiological results of elderly individuals with prediabetes and controls were collected by a questionnaire and laboratory testing. Conditional logistic regression was performed to identify the risk factors for prediabetes among the elderly, and additive interactions were used to analyse the interactions between risk factors.

resultsA total of 425 elderly subjects with prediabetes were included in the case group, and 425 elderly subjects with normal plasma glucose levels were included in the control group. The main risk factors for prediabetes among the elderly in rural communities of Hunan Province were a family history of diabetes (OR = 2.48; 95% CI: 1.13, 5.46), physical inactivity (OR = 3.27; 95% CI: 1.95, 5.49), a lack of health literacy on diabetes prevention and control (OR = 3.26; 95% CI: 1.62, 6.55), hypertension (OR = 2.01; 95% CI: 1.38, 2.93), overweight (OR = 2.53; 95% CI: 1.67, 3.81), obesity (OR = 3.08; 95% CI: 1.48, 6.40), and a high waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) (OR = 2.26; 95% CI: 1.45, 3.51). Additive interactions for prediabetes were detected between a high WHR and physical inactivity, with a relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) of 6.30 (95% CI: 0.42, 12.18), and between a high WHR and overweight or obesity, with an RERI of 2.92 (95% CI: 0.56, 5.29).

conclusionThe independent risk factors for prediabetes are a family history of diabetes, physical inactivity, a lack of health literacy on diabetes prevention and control, hypertension, overweight or obesity, and a high WHR. A high WHR has additive interactions with physical inactivity and overweight or obesity for the risk of prediabetes. These findings have significant implications for prediabetes prevention among the elderly in rural areas.
