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

objectiveDiabetes significantly increases the risk for atherosclerotic complications, including coronary artery disease (CAD). Previous studies have suggested that adult-onset diabetes can be classified into five different clinical subtypes, including moderate obesity-related diabetes (MOD). The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic associations between the five diabetes subtypes and the risk of developing CAD and diabetes in the general population. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsThe Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort (N = 24,025) was used to assess whether polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for the five diabetes subtypes could predict future diabetes and CAD. Genetic correlations and causal effects of the MOD subtype on CAD were investigated using data from large genome-wide association studies of the MOD subtype (N = 4,116) and CAD (N = 296,525).

resultsDuring follow-up, 4,105 participants (17.1%) developed diabetes (median follow-up 24.0 years) and 3,841 (16.0%) developed CAD (median follow-up 24.6 years). PRS for MOD (PRSMOD) was associated with incident diabetes and CAD. In addition, participants in the third tertile of PRSMOD had a 1.10-fold higher risk of developing CAD compared with those in the first tertile. A positive genetic correlation between MOD and CAD was observed, and Mendelian randomization analyses suggested a causal effect of MOD on CAD.

conclusionsThe current study showed that the genetic susceptibilities for all five diabetes subtypes were associated with incident diabetes. However, only the MOD subtype was associated with incident CAD. These findings underscore the significance of a high genetic risk for MOD as an early marker for CAD.
