ZJU Index as a Predictive Tool for Diabetes Incidence: Insights from a Population-Based Cohort Study.
Article in Diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity : targets and therapy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers.
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
Background: In previous studies, the ZJU index was reported to be a superior predictor of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in the Chinese population compared to the Fatty Liver Index. However, whether the ZJU Index is significantly associated with diabetes among Asian populations has not been determined. Methods: The NAGALA study was carried out at Murakami Memorial Hospital (Gifu, Japan) beginning in 1994. This study included the data of the subjects who underwent health check-ups from 2004 to 2015. The ZJU Index comprises body mass index (BMI), fasting plasma glucose, triglyceride, and alanine aminotransferase-to-aspartate aminotransferase (ALT) levels and an adjustment point for females. We conducted Cox proportional hazard regression to evaluate the association between quartiles of the ZJU Index and the risk of incident diabetes. Participants: A total of 15,464 individuals who underwent health check-ups were included in this study. Results: A total of 373 cases of incident diabetes were documented during 93,350 person-years of follow-up. As the ZJU index increased, the incidence of diabetes gradually increased ( Conclusion: We observed a positive association between the ZJU Index and incident diabetes in the general population.
