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

Previous reviews have suggested that shift work is associated with an increased risk of diabetes mellitus (DM); however, the results should be interpreted with caution due to differences in study designs and non-comprehensive literature searches. In addition, the quantitative dose-response relationship between years of shift work and DM risk is still unknown. We aimed to conduct an updated meta-analysis with cohort studies and to evaluate the relationship between the duration of shift work and the risk of DM in a dose-dependent manner. The PubMed and Web of Science databases were searched through 15 August 2019, and multivariate-adjusted relative risks (RRs) were pooled using random-effects models. Restricted cubic spline analysis with three knots was used to explore the relationship of years of shift work and risk of DM. Twelve cohort studies with 28 independent reports involving 244,266 participants and 15,906 DM cases were included. The summarized adjusted RR for the relationship between shift work and DM risk was 1.14 (95% CI 1.10 to 1.19; I
