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

Introduction: Secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure represents an underappreciated global health risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), with complex epidemiological implications. Methods: Leveraging the comprehensive Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 dataset, we systematically evaluated the worldwide burden of type 2 diabetes mellitus attributable to secondhand smoke (T2DM-SHS) across 204 countries. The analysis encompassed both death and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) across various genders, age groups, and 204 nations over the period from 1990 to 2021. We examined trends and socioeconomic impacts by analyzing age-standardized DALYs rates and estimated annual percentage changes, stratified by socio-demographic Index (SDI) quintiles. Results: The following changes occurred between 1990 and 2021: while age-standardized mortality rates decreased by 8.903% (95% UI: -16.824% to -1.399%), DALYs increased by 17.049% (95% UI: 9.065% to 25.557%). Age-stratified analysis revealed peak death in the 70-74 years group, with females experiencing highest DALYs in the 75-79 years group and males in the 90-94 years group. An inverted U-shaped relationship between SDI and disease burden emerged, with peak rates at moderate SDI levels. Discussion: Despite lowest burdens in high-income countries, disease dynamics were most complex in middle-range SDI countries, indicating that economic development does not linearly correlate with health outcomes. This comprehensive analysis unveils the multifaceted global landscape of T2DM-SHS, exposing critical disparities across gender, age, and socioeconomic contexts. The findings urgently call for targeted, context-specific public health interventions, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, to mitigate the escalating T2DM-SHS burden.
