Driving into Diabetes: Risk Assessment among Interstate Truck Drivers in West Bengal.
Article in Indian journal of occupational and environmental medicine. 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
Diabetes mellitus has led to a huge increase in its number over recent decades. Due to their occupation, truck drivers are predisposed to higher risk of lifestyle disorders. Hence, this study intended to assess their risk of developing diabetes mellitus with respect to IDRS (Indian Diabetes Risk Score). A cross-sectional study was conducted in a selected logistic company for 3 months, where 160 interstate truck drivers were selected by simple random sampling. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS 16 version. The mean age of study participants was 38.4 ± 10.7 years. Of the total, 49.5% of the participants had a high IDRS. A significant increase in IDRS was associated with the occupational variables. Strict monitoring of government guidelines on fair working hours for truck drivers is required. They, being a high-risk group due to their occupation, require periodic health checkups, and appropriate measures should be taken to minimize the detrimental effects on their health.
