Epidemiology of Isolated Impaired Glucose Tolerance Among Adults Aged Above 50 Years in Rural China.
Article in Diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity : targets and therapy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
introductionIsolated impaired glucose tolerance (i-IGT) is a subtype of prediabetes in which an individual demonstrates elevated 2-h post-glucose load glucose levels but normal fasting plasma glucose levels. However, few studies have explored the prevalence and risk factors of i-IGT among adults in rural China. Thus, we aimed to explore the prevalence and risk factors of i-IGT among adults ≥50 years old in a low-income, rural population in China. MATERIALS AND
methodsIndividuals aged ≥50 years with normal fasting plasma glucose levels were included in the final analysis. Fasting and 2-h venous blood samples were collected to assess the selected parameter measurements.
resultsA total of 2175 individuals were included in this study. The i-IGT prevalence was 22.9% and significantly higher among females than among males (P<0.05). Older age [odds ratio (OR), 1.606; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.101-2.342; P=0.014), hypertension (OR, 1.554; 95% CI, 1.152-2.019; P=0.004), and central obesity (OR, 1.395; 95% CI, 1.099-1.771; P=0.006) were associated with i-IGT. Moreover, white blood cell (OR, 1.089; 95% CI, 1.009-1.175; P=0.029), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (OR, 1.049; 95% CI, 1.020-1.078; P=0.001), serum uric acid (OR, 1.0003; 95% CI, 1.001-1.004; P=0.001), triglyceride (OR, 1.540; 95% CI, 1.105-2.147; P=0.011), and alanine aminotransferase (OR, 1.012; 95% CI, 1.004-1.021; P=0.004) levels were also linked to i-IGT in the analyzed population.
conclusionHealth promotion education and a standardized approach to managing body weight, BP, and lipid and uric acid levels would benefit this low-income population in rural China for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
