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

The FINDRISC test is a scale developed in Finland by Lindström and Tuomilehto to determine a patient's risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This scale has been accepted and valid in many countries, including Spain, Greece, Norway, and Germany. Having widely accepted instruments opens the possibility of conducting studies between different countries or cultures, which implies evaluating the various items of the instrument in the most accurate way possible. It is important to note that in Mexico, according to ENSANUT 2022, the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes was 12.6% and that of undiagnosed diabetes was 5.8%, resulting in a total prevalence of diabetes of 18.3%. In contrast, in Finland, for the year 2021, the prevalence was 7.7%, which denotes a large difference in the number of people living with diabetes in both countries.
