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

To investigate ethnic differences inprogression from prediabetes to diabetes in a multi-ethnic community, and develop prediction models for diabetes risk and glycemic progression. This 4.7-year retrospective cohort included 4,726 non-diabetic Han, Yi, and Dai individuals. Cox regression was used to analyze the cumulative incidence of diabetes. Two prediction models were developed and validated: a diabetes risk model and GlycoStep, a model for glycemic progression. Prediabetes was significantly associated with diabetes development (HR = 2.25). Over 4.7 years, the cumulative diabetes incidence was 12.7% in the prediabetes group versus 5.5% in normoglycemic individuals. The Yi had the highest incidence, followed by Han and Dai. The diabetes risk model achieved a C-index of 0.76 and AUCs of 0.65-0.80 over 2-4 years, demonstrating effective predictive performance. Similarly, the GlycoStep model exhibited strong predictive ability (C-index: 0.66; AUC range: 0.68-0.77), with ethnic-specific variations. These findings highlight ethnic disparities in diabetes progression and support individualized prevention strategies in multi-ethnic communities.
