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
Objectives: This study examines the link between early-onset diabetes and health factors in South Korean young adults (20-39) using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2010-2020). Methods: A matched case-control study was conducted in 2022 with 103 patients with diabetes and 103 controls, matched by age, gender, and BMI. All data, including socioeconomic status (income, education, occupation), health behaviors (smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity), and medical histories, were extracted from the KNHANES database. We analyzed socioeconomic status, health behaviors, and medical histories using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and binary logistic regression. Results: The study revealed that educational attainment and economic status are substantial predictors of diabetes, with those holding only a high school diploma showing a nearly threefold increased risk compared to college graduates (OR = 2.986; 95% CI = 1.334-6.687). Additionally, participants with a higher number of chronic diseases (OR = 3.534; 95% CI: 1.547-8.073) and those who felt unwell in the past two weeks (OR = 4.010; 95% CI: 1.388-11.585) also demonstrated significantly increased odds of diabetes. And having a parent with diabetes was an exceptionally strong predictor, with these participants having a significantly increased risk of diabetes (OR = 47.022; 95% CI = 4.206-525.704). Conclusion: The study emphasizes that improving educational and economic conditions, coupled with targeted screening programs for individuals with a family history of diabetes, may be effective in curbing the tide of early-onset diabetes in South Korea. These strategies may have profound implications for public health policies aimed at mitigating the risk in this increasingly vulnerable group.
