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

backgroundNew evidence suggests that air pollution is associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D), but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the relationship between air pollution exposure and T2D and to quantify the role of sleep quality in this association.

methodsA total of 226,188 participants free of T2D at baseline were enrolled in this prospective cohort study. Annual average concentrations of particulate matter (PM

resultsThe adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of T2D for a 10-µg/m³ increase in PM

conclusionsThe study revealed that long-term exposure to air pollution increased the risk of T2D incidence, with sleep quality serving as an important mediating factor. There are two modifiable risk factors for T2D identified and emphasized in our study: air pollution and sleep quality, which shed light on prospective primary prevention.
