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

contextPrediabetes is a condition characterized by elevated blood glucose levels that are below the threshold for the diagnosis of diabetes. It is also an early indicator of long-term complications.

objectiveThis systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence of prediabetes and identify associated social factors among children and adolescents in India. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: Observational studies published between 2008 and 2024 were included following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase were searched for studies involving Indian participants aged 6-19 years. Eligibility screening was performed in two stages by independent reviewers. The risk of bias was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) tools. A random-effects model was used to compute the pooled prevalence.

resultsFourteen studies (n = 48,454) were included. The pooled prevalence of prediabetes was 10% (95% CI 5-17%) with high heterogeneity (I

conclusionPrediabetes affects one in ten Indian youth, with the risk shaped by age, sex, and modifiable social determinants. Tailored public health interventions focusing on lifestyle modifications and early screening are critical to prevent progression to type 2 diabetes.
