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

objectiveThis study aimed to assess the associations between multidimensional sleep features and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

methodsWe conducted a systematic search across the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus databases for observational studies examining the association between nighttime sleep duration, nighttime sleep quality, sleep chronotype, and daytime napping with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), up to October 1, 2024. If

resultsOur analysis revealed that a nighttime sleep duration of less than 7 h (odds ratio [

conclusionsA U-shaped relationship was observed between sleep duration and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), with the lowest risk occurring at a sleep duration of 7 to 8 h. Additionally, poor sleep quality, evening chronotypes, and daytime napping exceeding 30 min emerged as potential risk factors for T2DM. These high-risk sleep characteristics interacted with one another, amplifying the overall risk of developing the disease.
