Association between body weight time in target range and risk of type 2 diabetes in adults with obesity.
Article in Diabetology & metabolic syndrome, 2026. 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
backgroundObesity is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes, underscoring the need for effective weight management strategies for its prevention and control. We evaluated the association between body weight time in target range (TTR) and the risk of type 2 diabetes in adults with obesity.
methodsUsing the 2010–2022 Korean National Health Insurance Service database, we included 248,367 adults with obesity with no history of diabetes. Body weight TTR was defined as the proportion of time maintaining a ≥ 3% reduction from baseline body weight. Participants were categorized into body weight TTR groups: 0%, > 0–50%, and > 50–100%. The primary outcome was the incidence of type 2 diabetes. Cox proportional hazards models were used.
resultsOver a median follow-up of 5.6 years, 46,737 participants (18.8%) developed type 2 diabetes. Individuals with body weight TTR > 0–50% and > 50–100% had significantly lower risk of type 2 diabetes compared with individuals with body weight TTR = 0%, with adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) of 0.86 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.84–0.88) and 0.66 (95% CI: 0.64–0.67), respectively. Each 10% increase in body weight TTR was significantly associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes (aHR: 0.95, 95% CI: 0.95–0.96). Five-year absolute risks declined across body weight TTR groups: 12.82%, 11.10%, and 8.62%.
conclusionAmong adults with obesity, a higher body weight TTR was significantly associated with a reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes, highlighting the importance of sustained weight management in diabetes prevention.
