The Relationship Between Alcohol and Glycohemoglobin: A Biopsychosocial Perspective.
Article in BioResearch open access, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
With the rising prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), there is debate regarding biological and psychosocial risk factors. While it is well established that alcohol lowers glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, it is less clear whether alcohol consumption is protective of T2DM. It is also unclear how gender and ethnicity influence the utility of HbA1c screening as a tool for T2DM diagnosis, particularly in the context of alcohol use. This cross-sectional study utilized the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013-2014 dataset and was restricted to adults 20 years and older, nonpregnant, and not on antihypertensive medication (
