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

aimsPrediabetes is heterogeneous, with variable progression to diabetes or reversion to normoglycemia. We evaluated whether the insulin secretion-sensitivity index-2 (ISSI-2), an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)-derived integrated surrogate of β-cell function relative to insulin sensitivity and prevailing glycemia, was associated with baseline glycaemic profiles and 2-year transitions in Chinese adults with prediabetes. We also examined whether these associations differed from those of the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and whether cohort-specific index-based groups combining ISSI-2 and HOMA-IR stratified transition risk. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe analysed 645 Chinese adults with prediabetes and complete baseline OGTT glucose and insulin measurements from a multicentre lifestyle intervention cohort; 410 had 2-year outcomes. ISSI-2 and HOMA-IR were examined in relation to baseline glycaemic measures and 2-year progression or reversion using multivariable regression.

resultsHigher ISSI-2 was associated with lower FPG, 1-h PG, 2-h PG and HbA1c, with the strongest association observed for 1-h PG (β per 1-SD increase -1.189 mmol/L; p < 0.001). During follow-up, 136 participants progressed to diabetes and 61 reverted to normoglycemia. Each 1-SD increase in ISSI-2 was associated with lower progression risk (OR 0.505, 95% CI: 0.382-0.668) and higher likelihood of reversion (OR 1.447, 95% CI: 1.106-1.893), whereas HOMA-IR showed less consistent associations. Compared with the Low IR + higher ISSI-2 group, the dual-defect group (higher HOMA-IR and lower ISSI-2) had higher progression risk (OR 2.764, 95% CI: 1.459-5.237).

conclusionsISSI-2 was associated with baseline glycaemic profiles and bidirectional 2-year transitions in Chinese adults with prediabetes. OGTT-derived β-cell function assessment may complement conventional glycaemic classification for short-term risk stratification, pending validation in independent cohorts.
