Five-Year Glycemic Trajectories Among Healthy African-American and European-American Offspring of Parents With Type 2 Diabetes.
Observational study in The American journal of the medical sciences, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundCross-sectional surveys report a higher prevalence of diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in African Americans (AA) than European Americans (EA). We studied 5-year glycemic excursions among AA and EA in the Pathobiology of Prediabetes in A Biracial Cohort study, to assess ethnic disparities. MATERIALS AND
methodsPathobiology of Prediabetes in A Biracial Cohort followed normoglycemic offspring of parents with T2DM for 5 years, with serial assessments of oral glucose tolerance test , anthropometry, body fat, insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function. The primary outcome was progression to prediabetes (impaired fasting glucose and/or impaired glucose tolerance). We further analyzed 5-year changes in fasting (FPG) and 2-hour plasma glucose (2hrPG).
resultsOne hundred and one (52 AA, 49 EA) out of 343 subjects developed prediabetes during follow-up. The change in FPG ranged from -24 mg/dl to +38 mg/dl. The FPG remained stable (± 5 mg/dl from baseline) in 50% of EA and 46.8% of AA and the 2hrPG remained stable (± 25 mg/dl from baseline) in 73.7% of EA and 71.0 % of AA during follow-up. The proportions with change in FPG of 5mg/dl to >25 mg/dl and 2hrPG of 25 mg/dl to >50 mg/dl were similar in EA and AA offspring, as were the 10th - 90th percentiles of the distribution of 5-year changes in FPG and 2hrPG.
conclusionsDuring 5 years of follow-up, black and white offspring of parents with T2DM exhibited remarkable phenotypic concordance of glycemic trajectories. Thus, parental history of T2DM may be a stronger factor than race/ethnicity in the prediction of longitudinal glycemic trends.
