Glycaemic control and outcomes in children with type 2 diabetes diagnosed at or before 10 years of age.
Article in Endocrinology, diabetes & metabolism, 2021. 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
Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in children is considered rare before puberty. Objective: Describe the characteristics and outcomes of children with T2DM diagnosed at or before 10 years of age. Methods: Retrospective electronic medical record review of children diagnosed with T2DM at a University Children's Hospital over 12 years was conducted. Patient characteristics at diagnosis, 2-3-year follow-up, and 4-5-year follow-up were analysed as a whole and by age groups, 5-8 and 9-10 years. Results: There were 42 children ≤ 10 years with T2DM (5-8-year age group, n = 8 and 9-10-year age group, n = 34). There were 88.1% African American, 11.9% Caucasian, and 88.1% females. Body mass index (BMI) was ≥95th percentile in 95.2%. Average BMI z score was 2.5 ± 0.4 and higher in the 5-8-year age group (2.7 ± 0.5 vs 2.4 ± 0.4, Conclusions: T2DM at or below 10 years of age disproportionately affected females and ethnic minorities and was associated with morbid obesity. The majority of these children did not achieve glycaemic control and required insulin for management of their hyperglycaemia after 4-5 years, indicating the need for increased awareness of T2DM and intensive treatment in this special group.
