Correlation between Long-Term Exposure to Traffic Noise and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Article in Noise & health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThis study aimed to probe the correlation of long-term exposure to traffic noise with the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
methodsThe data of 480 community residents collected from April 2017 to April 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Exposure levels for traffic noise were defined using 24-h mean traffic noise. Logistic regression calculated the association between long-term exposure to traffic noise and the risk of T2DM.
resultsOverall, 480 enrolled participants were divided into T2DM (n = 45) and non-T2DM (n = 435) groups. Participants with T2DM were older and more likely to be male, had higher BMI, and were frequent drinkers (P < 0.001). The T2DM group displayed higher exposure to traffic noise than the non-T2DM group (P < 0.001). According to quartiles of traffic noise, all participants were categorized into four groups: Q1 (<51.5 dB), Q2 (51.5-<53.9 dB), Q3 (53.9-<58.0 dB), and Q4 (≥58.0 dB). Prevalence of T2DM was 5.4% in Q1, 7.7% in Q2, 10.3% in Q3, and 14.1% in Q4 groups. Multifactor regression analysis showed that age, BMI, drinking history, and traffic noise exposure are risk factors for T2DM (P < 0.05), whereas sex does not seem to have a significant impact on T2DM (P > 0.05).
conclusionLong-term exposure to traffic noise may elevate the risk of T2DM. This suggests that long-term exposure to high levels of traffic noise can increase the incidence of diabetes mellitus, which deserves further consideration.
