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

aimsThe role of endogenous oestrogen exposure (EEE) in type 2 diabetes (T2D) remains understudied despite its potential importance. This study aimed to assess T2D incidence in women with different endogenous oestrogen durations. MATERIALS AND

methodsAt the initiation of the study, 6273 post-menarche women above 20 years were included. After applying the exclusion criteria, 3,411 women remained (2,754 premenopausal and 657 menopausal). Each woman's EEE was determined, and they were monitored for the incidence of T2D. Based on the EEE duration, hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the T2D event were reported using Cox proportional hazards regression models.

resultsThe mean age and menarcheal age (standard deviation) of participants were 39.3(12.5) and 13.5(1.5) years, respectively. Finally, 30.9% (1053) of the women developed diabetes (819 (29.7%) premenopausal and 234 (35.6%) menopausal). The age and BMI-adjusted model's findings indicated that, overall, the EEE z-score was inversely associated with T2D incidence in postmenarcheal women [HR 0.91, 95% CI 0.85-0.97], meaning that the risk of T2D decreased by 9% for every 1-SD increase in the EEE z-score. Furthermore, after full adjustment for potential confounders, the association remained statistically significant (HR = 0.90, 95% CI: 0.84-0.96).

conclusionsThe findings suggest that longer EEE duration may reduce the risk of T2D, emphasising the importance of reproductive history in health assessments.
