Sex and age differences in prevalence and risk factors for prediabetes in Mexican-Americans.
Article in Diabetes research and clinical practice, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimsOver 1/3 of Americans have prediabetes, while 9.4% have type 2 diabetes. The aim of our study was to estimate the prevalence of prediabetes in Mexican Americans, with known 28.2% prevalence of type 2 diabetes, by age and sex and to identify critical socio-demographic and clinical factors associated with prediabetes.
methodsData were collected between 2004 and 2017 from the Cameron County Hispanic Cohort in Texas. Weighted crude and sex- and age- stratified prevalences were calculated. Survey weighted logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify risk factors for prediabetes.
resultsThe prevalence of prediabetes (32%) was slightly higher than the alarmingly high rate of type 2 diabetes (28.2%). Hispanic men had the highest overall (37.8%) and highest age stratified prevalence of prediabetes. Males had higher odds of prediabetes than females 1.56 (1.19, 2.06), controlling for the effect of family history of diabetes, age, BMI, and high-density lipoprotein. Family history of diabetes was a strong independent risk factor for prediabetes in all men, and in men and women in the age group 40-64 years. Elevated triglycerides (p = 0.003) was an independent risk factor for men and women in the age group 18-39 years.
conclusionsDespite the very high prevalence of type 2 diabetes, prediabetes prevalence among Mexican Americans is only marginally less than national prediabetes rates. This suggests that progression to type 2 diabetes is more rapid and occurs earlier than nationally. Earlier screening and interventions for prediabetes, especially for men, are necessary to slow the transition to diabetes.
