Delay Discounting, Glycemic Regulation and Health Behaviors in Adults with Prediabetes.

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
The majority of people with prediabetes transition to type 2 diabetes. Research has suggested that persons with type 2 diabetes are likely to discount the future and focus on immediate rewards. This study was designed to assess whether this process of delay discounting (DD) is associated with glycemic regulation, medication adherence and eating and exercise behaviors in adults with prediabetes. Participants included 81 adults with prediabetes who were also prescribed hypertension or dyslipidemia drugs, which is common for people with prediabetes. Participants completed adjusting amount DD $100 and $1000 tasks, as well assessments of glycemic control (Hemoglobin (Hb) A1c), medication adherence, diet quality, and objectively measured physical activity. Relationships between DD and these variables were assessed. Results showed higher rates of DD were related to higher HbA1c; as well as poorer medication adherence, lower diet quality and lower physical activity. Hierarchical regression showed that the association between minority status, a known risk factor for type 2 diabetes, was moderated by DD, as minorities with higher DD had greater HbA1c values. Delay discounting may represent a novel target to prevent progression from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes.
