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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsThe rising tide of diabetes mellitus (DM) and prediabetes (PDM) is urgently calling for strategies easily applicable to anticipate diagnosis. We assessed the effectiveness of random capillary blood glucose (RCBG), administration of a validated DM risk questionnaire, or the combination of both. MATERIALS AND

methodsRCBG measurement and/or questionnaire administration were offered to all individuals presenting at gazebos organized during the World Diabetes Day or similar public initiatives on diabetes awareness. Subjects with suspicious DM or PDM were invited to the Diabetes Center (DC) for laboratory confirmation (fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c).

resultsAmong 8563 individuals without known diabetes undergoing RCBG measurement, 341 (4%) had suspicious values. Diagnosis of DM was confirmed in 36 (41.9%) of the 86 subjects who came to the DC and PDM was found in 40 (46.5%). Among 3351 subjects to whom the questionnaire was administered, 480 (14.3%) had suspicious scores. Diagnosis of DM was confirmed in 40 (10.1%) of the 397 who came to the DC and PDM was found in 214 (53.9%). These 3351 subjects also had RCBG measurement and 30 out of them had both tests positive. Among them, 27 subjects came to DC and DM was diagnosed in 17 (63.0%) and PDM was found in 9 (33.3%).

conclusionsThese data suggest that RCBG definitely outperforms the questionnaire to identify unknown DM and PDM. RCBG measurement, with questionnaire as an adjunctive tool, appears to be a simple, fast, and feasible opportunistic strategy in detecting undiagnosed DM and PDM.
