Risk factors for incident type 2 diabetes among adults with impaired fasting glucose: a comparison of three regression models accounting for competing mortality in Liuzhou, Guangxi, China.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 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
Objectives: Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) is a prediabetic precursor of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Few long-term cohorts with substantial competing mortality compare risk estimates from logistic, Cox and Fine-Gray regression. This study aimed to examine cross-model discrepancies and demonstrate model-dependent bias in IFG risk inference. Methods: We followed 913 Chinese IFG adults recruited in Liuzhou, Guangxi (2004-2008) for up to 20 years until 31 December 2024 (median 17.83 years). Three regression models were used to identify fully adjusted T2DM predictors. Results: Fasting glucose, body fat percentage and older age were consistent positive predictors; female sex was persistently protective. Body mass index (BMI) ≥28 kg/m Conclusions: Statistical model choice alters risk factor conclusions in IFG cohorts with high competing mortality. Joint interpretation of complementary regression methods is recommended.
