Effect of 3-year changes in adiposity measures on the pre-diabetes regression and progression: a community-based cohort study.
Article in BMC public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
aimWe assessed the impact of a 3-year change-percent in adiposity measures on regression and pre-diabetes (Pre-DM) progression among Iranian adults.
methodsThree-year change-percent in body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and visceral adiposity index (VAI) were calculated for 1458 Pre-DM subjects (mean age of 53.0 ± 13.7, 46.8% men), participated in the third examination of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (2006-2008). Multinomial logistic regression models were used to estimate relative risk ratios (RRRs) of the outcomes [i.e., regression to normal glucose regulation (NGR), persistence in Pre-DM, and progression to newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D)] across 3-year change categories of adiposity measures (i.e., ≥ 5% decrease, 0-5% decrease, increase).
resultsOver nine years of follow-up, 37.7 and 39.0% returned to NGR and progressed to T2D, respectively. Decreased BW (0-5 and ≥ 5%) was associated with regression to NGR (RRRs = 1.44, 95% CIs = 1.05-1.98, and 2.64, 1.63-4.28, respectively). Decreased BMI and WC ≥ 5% were also associated with regression to NGR (RRRs = 1.63, 95% CI = 1.01-2.64; 1.69, 1.20-2.37, respectively). Changes in WHR and VAI were not associated with Pre-DM regression or progression. Pre-DM subjects with ≥ 5% BW loss had a constant FSG level overtime and a lower overall mean of FSG (116 vs. 111 and 112 mg/dL, P = 0.023 and 0.009, respectively) and 2 h-SG (154 vs. 165 and 168 mg/dL) compared to those had 0-5% BW loss or BW gain.
conclusionShort-term management of adiposity measures increases the regression probability to NGR. Targeting BW loss seems a more potent predictor of Pre-DM reversion among the adiposity measures.
