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

Several polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for type 2 diabetes (T2D) have been derived from genome-wide association studies (GWASs), but Pacific populations have generally not been represented in these GWASs. The aim of this study was to examine the association of PRS for T2D with diabetes and clinical measures in Pacific Islander populations from Guam and Saipan. We analyzed seven constructions of PRSs in 1990 participants in a GWAS from a community-based cross-sectional study of diabetes. Associations of T2D PRS with diabetes, maximum body mass index (BMI), fasting glucose, and HbA1c were examined with adjustment for age, sex, and the first four genetic principal components (PCs) from the GWAS (to account for population stratification). Insulin resistance/secretion measures were also analyzed in 989 participants without diabetes. All seven PRSs were strongly associated with T2D (p < 5 × 10
