What are the most important research questions within prediabetes? A priority setting partnership in collaboration with patients, healthcare professionals and researchers.
Article in Diabetologia, 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
aims/hypothesisResearch agendas are typically set by researchers and funders, meaning that priorities of end users, such as patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs), could be missed or overlooked in research. To ensure future research in prediabetes is of relevance and benefit to people with prediabetes and HCPs, it is important to involve these stakeholders in setting the research agenda. The aim of this study was to establish a top-10 list of the most important research questions in prediabetes (HbA
methodsWe used a modified James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnership methodology, following the four-step process including: (1) Gathering uncertainties; (2) Organising uncertainties; (3) Interim priority setting; and (4) Final priority setting in a workshop. Further, the international relevance of the final top-10 list was assessed.
resultsA total of 1142 responses were submitted by 405 people to: 'What questions about prediabetes would you like to see answered by research?'. The collected uncertainties were categorised and condensed into 35 indicative questions. Through prioritisation, patients and relatives had different preferences from researchers and HCPs. The jointly agreed top-10 list included questions on prevention strategies, risk factors, diet advice, screening and personalised treatment. Highest prioritisation was given to: 'What is the best prevention of diabetes and will early prevention strategies reduce the number of people with type 2 diabetes?'. CONCLUSIONS/
interpretationAn iterative and collaborative process identified shared priorities between patients, HCPs and relevant stakeholders in prediabetes. Findings should support academia, funders and the healthcare industry to target research within prediabetes specifically to the needs of patients and HCPs.
