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

objectivesAlthough lifestyle modification programs are widely implemented for diabetes prevention, the contributions of individual lifestyle factors remain unclear. This study investigated lifestyle risk factors for prediabetes and employed a regression-based approach for estimating their population-attributable fractions (PAFs) using nationally representative data.

methodsWe analyzed data from 3104 adults aged ≥30 years without diabetes from the 2022 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Seven lifestyle factors were assessed: body weight, alcohol consumption, smoking, physical activity, sleep duration, vegetable intake, and breakfast consumption. Prediabetes was defined as fasting blood glucose of 100-125 mg/dL or hemoglobin A1c levels of 5.7-6.4%. Complex survey-adjusted logistic regression was used to identify significant lifestyle risk factors, and their PAFs were estimated using a regression-based sequential method.

resultsFive lifestyle factors were significantly associated with prediabetes: abnormal body weight (odds ratio [OR], 2.05; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.68 to 2.50), excessive alcohol consumption (OR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.00 to 1.62), smoking (OR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.71), insufficient exercise (OR, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.05 to 1.51), and irregular breakfast consumption (OR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.08 to 1.59). In sequential PAF estimation, abnormal body weight had the largest contribution (22.2%; 95% CI, 16.2 to 28.2), followed by smoking (6.4%; 95% CI, 1.1 to 11.6), insufficient exercise (5.8%; 95% CI, 1.2 to 10.5), irregular breakfast consumption (4.9%; 95% CI, 0.5 to 9.2), and excessive alcohol consumption (3.6%; 95% CI, 0.1 to 7.4). These results remained consistent in sensitivity analyses including undiagnosed diabetes cases.

conclusionsAbnormal body weight emerged as the largest contributor to prediabetes (PAF>20%). Diabetes prevention programs in Korea should prioritize weight management within a comprehensive approach to lifestyle modification.
