Association of exposure to ethylene oxide with risk of diabetes mellitus: results from NHANES 2013-2016.

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
Animal studies suggested that exposure to ethylene oxide (EO) might induce hepatic lipid peroxidation and inflammatory lesions in various organs. However, the association between EO exposure and diabetes risk in humans is unknown. This study aimed to examine the association of EO exposure with the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in a general population of US adults. This study consisted of 3448 participants aged 20 years and older from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2014 cycle and 2015-2016 cycle. Circulating levels of EO biomarker (hemoglobin adducts of EO (HbEO)) was measured by using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using multivariate logistic regression. The weighted median level of HbEO was 29.9 (95% CI: 21.8, 56.0) pmol/g Hb. Elevated levels of HbEO were associated with higher HbA1c and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (both P
