Changes in insulin resistance, glucose effectiveness, and first and second phases of insulin secretion in women aged 45-60 years old in Taiwan.

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
backgroundIn women after menopause, the incidence of diabetes mellitus increases. Increased insulin resistance (IR), decreased glucose effectiveness (GE), and the first and second phases of insulin secretion (FPIS and SPIS), are the four most important factors that trigger glucose intolerance and diabetes (diabetogenic factor [DF]). In the cross-sectional study, we enrolled nondiabetic women between the ages of 45 and 60 years to observe the changes in DFs during the perimenopausal period and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of diabetes in menopausal women.
methodsWe randomly enrolled 4194 women who underwent health checkups. Using demographic and biochemical data, IR, FPIS, SPIS, and GE were calculated using previously published equations. The relationship between the DFs and age was evaluated using a simple correlation.
resultsBody mass index, blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride, and SPIS were higher, and GE was lower in older women (≥52 years old). A significant decrease in GE and increased SPIS were observed with age. However, no changes were observed in IR or FPIS.
conclusionThe IR and FPIS did not change during perimenopause. Increased SPIS may compensate for the decrease in GE, which is probably one of the reasons for the higher incidence of diabetes in menopausal women.
