Age- and deprivation-related inequalities in identification of people at high risk of type 2 diabetes in England.
Article in BMC public health, 2024. 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
backgroundEarly detection of intermediate hyperglycaemia, otherwise known as non-diabetic hyperglycaemia (NDH) is crucial to identify people at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who could benefit from preventative interventions. Failure to identify NDH may also increase the risks of T2DM-related complications at the time of T2DM diagnosis. We investigate sociodemographic inequalities in identification of NDH in England.
methodsWe used nationwide data from the English National Health Service (NHS) National Diabetes Audit, which includes all people who were newly identified with NDH (N = 469,910) or diagnosed with T2DM (N = 222,795) between 1st April 2019 and 31st March 2020. We used regression models to explore inequalities in the under identification of NDH by area-level deprivation and age group.
resultsOf those with a new T2DM diagnosis, 67.3% had no previous record of NDH. The odds of no previous NDH being recorded were higher amongst people living in more deprived areas (Odds ratio (OR) 1.15 (95% confidence intervals (CI) [1.12, 1.19]) most deprived (Q1) compared to least deprived (Q5) quintile) and younger individuals (OR 4.02 (95% CI [3.79, 4.27] under 35s compared to age 75-84)). Deprivation-related inequalities persisted after stratification by age group, with the largest inequalities amongst middle and older age groups. People living in more deprived areas and younger people also had shorter recorded NDH duration before progression to T2DM, and higher T2DM severity at the time of diagnosis.
conclusionsThere is under identification of NDH relative to diagnosis of T2DM amongst people living in more deprived areas and particularly amongst younger people, resulting in missed opportunities for targeted T2DM prevention efforts and potentially contributing to inequalities in T2DM prevalence and severity. More active NDH case-finding amongst these groups may be an important first step in helping to reduce inequalities in T2DM.
