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

Background: Late diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus causes preventable complications and higher morbidity. Obesity, inactivity, poor diet, and smoking increase the risk of diabetes; however, their relationship with undiagnosed diseases in middle-aged adults requires further clarification. Methods: Between January and June 2024, we enrolled 200 adults aged 35-45 years from outpatient clinics. The staff measured the height, weight, and body mass index of each participant. Participants completed the International Physical Activity Questionnaire and Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener and reported their smoking histories. After overnight fasting, we measured the fasting blood glucose and HbA1c levels. Undiagnosed diabetes was defined according to the 2024 American Diabetes Association criteria (FBG ≥ 126 mg/dL or HbA1c ≥ 6.5%) in patients without a prior diagnosis. Statistical analyses included independent Results: Undiagnosed diabetes was found in 29 participants (14.5, 95% CI 9.8-19.2). Those with undiagnosed diabetes had a higher body mass index (30.6 ± 2.6 vs. 27.6 ± 3.4 kg/m Conclusion: Approximately one in seven middle-aged adults in outpatient settings has undiagnosed type 2 diabetes. A higher body mass index, lower physical activity, and smoking were independently associated with an undiagnosed status. These readily assessable socio-behavioral factors should inform screening strategies and risk assessments in primary care.
