Associations of abdominal obesity-related dietary patterns with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes: exploring the mediating effects of body composition and altitude in Tibetan adults.
Article in Public health nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesTo investigate the association of dietary patterns (DP) with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes (T2D) among Tibetan adults, first to identify DP associated with abdominal obesity and examine their relationships with prediabetes and T2D. Additionally, the study aims to investigate the mediating effects of body fat distribution and altitude on the associations between these DP and the prevalence of prediabetes and T2D.
designAn open cohort among Tibetans.
settingCommunity-based.
participantsThe survey recruited 1003 participants registered for health check-ups from November to December 2018 and 1611 participants from December 2021 to May 2022. During the baseline and follow-up data collection, 1818 individuals participated in at least one of the two surveys, with 515 of them participating in both.
resultsTwo DP were identified by reduced rank regression. DP1 had high consumption of beef and mutton, non-caloric drink and offal and low intake in tubers and roots, salty snacks, onion and spring onion, fresh fruits, desserts and nuts and seeds; DP2 had high intake of whole grains, Tibetan cheese, light-coloured vegetables and pork and low intake of sugar-sweetened beverages, whole-fat dairy products and poultry. Individuals in the highest tertile of DP1 showed higher risks of prediabetes (OR 95 % CI) 1·35 (1·05, 1·73) and T2D 1·36 (1·05, 1·76). The highest tertile of DP2 exhibited an elevated risk of T2D 1·63 (1·11, 2·40) in full adjustment.
conclusionAbdominal adiposity-related DP are positively associated with T2D. Promoting healthy eating should be considered to prevent T2D among Tibetan adults.
