Clinical Characteristics of Korean Patients with Youth-Onset Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Remission.
Article in Journal of obesity & metabolic syndrome, 2025. 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
Background: Improving β-cell function can lead to remission in some patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, research on pharmacotherapy-induced remission in youth-onset T2DM remains scarce. Our study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics of pediatric patients who experience remission. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 88 pediatric patients with T2DM followed for at least 1 year at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital between 2013 and 2023. Remission was defined as a glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level less than 6.5% for at least 3 months after ceasing glucose-lowering pharmacotherapy. Results: Among 88 patients (60 males, 68.2%) diagnosed at an average age of 14.4±2.1 years, 19 patients (21.6%) achieved remission after a median duration of 1.4 years. The remission group had a larger proportion of males (89.5% vs. 62.3%, Conclusion: Among Korean youth with T2DM, 21.6% achieved remission after a median duration of 1.4 years. Those who experienced remission were predominantly male, had lower ACR at diagnosis, and had significant weight loss within the first year. Further investigation into the factors influencing remission and long-term outcomes is essential.
