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
backgroundVarious studies have reported contradictory results regarding the relationship of total bilirubin and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels (hsCRP) with diabetes mellitus Type 2 (DM2). Therefore, we aimed to examine which one of them could be more convenient for the estimation of DM2 risk in postmenopausal women. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 150 healthy postmenopausal women (mean age 57[53-60] years) and 79 postmenopausal women with DM2 (mean age 66 [61-71] years) were enrolled in cross-sectional study. Examinees were recruited consecutively in the study during their regular check-up visit in the Primary Health Care Center in Podgorica, Montenegro, in a period from October 2012 to May 2016. Anthropometric measurements, biochemical parameters, and blood pressure were obtained. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to find the independent predictors for DM2 development in postmenopausal women.
resultsAge, waist circumference, and total bilirubin were the independent predictors for DM2 development in postmenopausal women (odds ratio [OR] =1.224, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.117-1.341],
conclusionUnlike hsCRP, total bilirubin independently correlated with DM2 in postmenopausal women.
