Longitudinal Sleep Patterns and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Article in Diabetes/metabolism research and reviews, 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
aimsEvidence relating sleep characteristics to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has largely been based on single assessments. We examined whether transitions in a multidimensional healthy sleep score between two assessments were associated with incident T2DM and explored the relationship of the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index to this association. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe conducted a landmark analysis among 60,249 UK Biobank participants with sleep assessed at visits 1 and 2. Visit 2 was defined as time zero for follow-up. Sleep pattern transitions were classified according to poor, intermediate, or healthy sleep status at each assessment. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate associations with incident T2DM. TyG analysis was treated as exploratory.
resultsDuring a median follow-up of 4.2 years, 1284 incident T2DM cases occurred. Compared with stable healthy sleep, stable poor sleep was associated with higher risk (hazard ratio [HR], 2.07; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.32-3.27). Baseline-stratified analyses did not show higher risk for improvement from poor or intermediate sleep relative to remaining in the same baseline category. The full-cohort spline showed evidence of nonlinearity (p for nonlinearity < 0.001), and TyG analyses were exploratory.
conclusionsSleep pattern transitions between the two assessments were associated with incident type 2 diabetes, and the association differed by baseline sleep status. Repeated sleep assessment may complement single-time-point evaluation in understanding the role of sleep in diabetes risk.
