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

objectiveWe aimed to detect the incidence and risk factors of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) development in the suburbs of Beijing.

designCohort study with record linkage to incidence data.

settingWe performed a 5-year follow-up study in a randomly selected suburban population including 1114 subjects aged ≥18 years living in the suburbs of Beijing.

participants118 subjects with T2DM at baseline according to the 1999 WHO criteria were excluded, and 895 subjects attended the follow-up assessment in 2012. The non-diabetic subjects at baseline were classified into two groups: normal glucose tolerance (NGT) group (n=673) and impaired glucose regulation (IGR) group(n=222).The incidence and risk factors of diabetes development in each group were investigated. OUTCOME MEASURES: A structured questionnaire about sociodemographic characteristics, height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, blood pressure, oral glucose tolerance test and serum lipid levels.

resultsOut of the 895 non-diabetic subjects, 67 developed diabetes with 29 in the NGT group and 38 in the IGR group, respectively, after a 5-year follow-up, producing an overall 5-year cumulative incidence of diabetes of 13%. The incidence of diabetes was 15.5 cases per 1000 person-years, 8.9 cases per 1000 person-years in the NGT group and 35.7 cases per 1000 person-years in the IGR group (p<0.01; RR 4.03; 95% CI 2.58 to 9.29). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors for diabetes development included fasting plasma glucose (FPG) in the NGT group, and sex, the waist-to-hip ratio, FPG and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in the IGR group.

conclusionsDuring a mean follow-up of 5.0 years, the incidence of T2DM in the suburbs of Beijing was 15.5 per 1000 person-years. Early prevention of diabetes should focus on IGR subjects. Elevated FPG predicted diabetes development for both NGT and IGR subjects. Female sex, overweight/obesity and DBP are risk factors for diabetes development in IGR subjects.
