1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purpose of reviewThe aim of this review is to provide an updated commentary on the current literature examining the impact of normal weight obesity (NWO) and normal weight central obesity (NWCO) on type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. RECENT

findingsTotal 14 studies were included, comprising 9 cross-sectional and 5 cohort studies with 334,438 subjects. The quality of evidence was mixed. The pooled prevalence of NWO was 16.1% (95% CI: 12.7-19.4) and NWCO was 21.1% (95% CI: 12.2-30.1). The prevalence of NWO and NWCO higher in females and non-Asians. This review also showed that type 2 diabetes was significantly associated with NWO and NWCO (pooled OR: 1.82 [1.62, 2.04], p < 0.01, I2 = 64%). Subgroup analyses revealed consistent relationships between type 2 diabetes and NWO/NWCO across sex, region and definition approach. There was a relative high prevalence of NWO and NWCO, particularly in females and non-Asian populations. There was a consistent association of NWO/NWCO with type 2 diabetes. Implications for future research to guide intervention optimization in clinical practice and public health promotion are provided.
