Prospective Test Performance of Nonfasting Biomarkers to Identify Dysglycemia in Children and Adolescents.
Article in Hormone research in paediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionTest performance screening measures for dysglycemia have not been evaluated prospectively in youth. This study evaluated the prospective test performance of random glucose (RG), 1-h nonfasting glucose challenge test (1-h GCT), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fructosamine (FA), and 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG) for identifying dysglycemia.
methodsYouth ages 8-17 years with overweight or obesity (body mass index, BMI, ≥85th percentile) without known diabetes completed nonfasting tests at baseline (n = 176) and returned an average of 1.1 years later for two formal fasting 2-h oral glucose tolerance tests. Outcomes included glucose-defined dysglycemia (fasting plasma glucose ≥100 mg/dL or 2-h plasma glucose ≥140 mg/dL) or elevated HbA1c (≥5.7%). Longitudinal test performance was evaluated using receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves and calculation of area under the curve (AUC).
resultsGlucose-defined dysglycemia, elevated HbA1c, and either dysglycemia or elevated HbA1c were present in 15 (8.5%), 11 (6.3%), and 23 (13.1%) participants at baseline, and 16 (9.1%), 18 (10.3%), and 28 (15.9%) participants at follow-up. For prediction of glucose-defined dysglycemia at follow-up, RG, 1-h GCT, and HbA1c had similar performance (0.68 (95% CI: 0.55-0.80), 0.76 (95% CI: 0.64-0.89), and 0.70 (95% CI: 0.56-0.84)), while FA and 1,5-AG performed poorly. For prediction of HbA1c at follow-up, baseline HbA1c had strong performance (AUC 0.93 [95% CI: 0.88-0.98]), RG had moderate performance (AUC 0.67 [95% CI: 0.54-0.79]), while 1-h GCT, FA, and 1,5-AG performed poorly.
conclusionHbA1c and nonfasting glucose tests had reasonable longitudinal discrimination identifying adolescents at risk for dysglycemia, but performance depended on outcome definition.
