The Risk of Incident Diabetes Mellitus in Relation to Egg Consumption among Working-Aged Korean Adults.
Article in Yonsei medical journal, 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
purposeConflicting results have been published for the association between egg consumption and the risk of diabetes mellitus (DM). The present study was to assess the risk of incident DM in relation to egg consumption. MATERIALS AND
methodsStudy participants were 91005 non-diabetic adults who periodically received health check-ups. They were categorized into six groups by egg consumption (<1/week, ≥1 and <3/week, ≥3 and <7/week, ≥1 and <2/day, ≥2 and <3/day, ≥3/day) and followed for incident DM during median 6.9 years. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to longitudinally evaluate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for incident DM according to the six groups of egg consumption [adjusted HR (95% CI)]. Subgroup analysis was conducted by sex and age (<45 years or ≥45 years). The risk of DM conferred by a daily increment of one egg consumption was also analyzed.
resultsIn all participants, egg consumption ≥1/week was not significantly associated with an increased risk of DM, compared with the reference [<1/week: reference, ≥1 and <3/week: 1.01 (0.91-1.12), ≥3 and <7/week: 0.96 (0.87-1.06), ≥1 and <2/day: 1.06 (0.95-1.19), ≥2 and <3/day: 1.04 (0.88-1.22), ≥3/day: 1.29 (0.98-1.70)]. This pattern of relationship was similarly observed across all subgroups. A daily increment of one egg consumption showed only a marginal association with the risk of DM in men [1.07 (1.02-1.13)] and younger individuals [1.07 (1.02-1.13)].
conclusionEgg consumption appears to have little association with the risk of incident DM.
