Altered brain function and structure in youth-onset type 2 diabetes.
Article in European journal of endocrinology, 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
objectiveDespite the aggressive clinical trajectory of youth-onset type 2 diabetes (Y-T2D) and consistent evidence of cognitive dysfunction and poor brain health in adults with T2D, the impact of Y-T2D on brain function and structure is understudied.
designThis study aimed to characterize brain function and structure in a cross-sectional sample of young people with Y-T2D and compare these brain attributes to peers with obesity alone (OB) or healthy weight (HW) without T2D.
methodsBrain structure and function were measured via magnetic resonance imaging. Functional connectivity was estimated with a seed-to-voxel analysis and gray matter (GM) volume differences explored between groups.
resultsForty young adult participants were included (Y-T2D: n = 12, mean [±SD] age 25.0 ± 7.2 years, diabetes duration 6.5 ± 6.7 years; OB: n = 8, age 19 ± 1.6 years; HW: n = 20, age 22.9 ± 4.1 years). The Y-T2D group showed stronger functional connectivity between the salience network and default mode network, compared to both the OB and HW groups (P < .05 for all, respectively). The Y-T2D group had reduced GM volume in regions associated with executive functioning, language, and visual processing relative to the OB and HW groups (P < .001 for all, respectively).
conclusionsY-T2D is associated with distinct alterations in brain function and structure, providing evidence of potentially compromised brain health in this clinical population.
