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
introductionPrediabetes is a reversible yet often overlooked condition that represents a critical window for early intervention. Family meal practices may support effective disease management during this stage. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between family meal practices and the prevalence of prediabetes among South Korean adults.
methodsData from the 2019-2023 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were analyzed. Family meal practices were defined as sharing at least one meal (breakfast, lunch, or dinner) with family members three or more times per week. Prediabetes was defined as fasting glucose levels of 100-125 mg/dL or glycated hemoglobin of 5.7%-6.4%. Sex-stratified multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed, adjusting for covariates.
resultsAmong 16,957 adults without diabetes (6907 men and 10,050 women), the prevalence of prediabetes was 49.1% in men and 42.3% in women. Men who participated in family meals had 16% lower odds of prediabetes (odds ratio [OR]: 0.84, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.73-0.97) compared with men who did not, whereas the association was not significant for women (OR: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.84-1.11). Among men, this association tended to be more pronounced in socioeconomic subgroups characterized by urban residence, higher household income, higher educational level, white-collar occupations, and married status.
conclusionsRegular participation in family meals was associated with a lower prevalence of prediabetes among South Korean adult men without diabetes. This finding may help identify population subgroups that could benefit from targeted lifestyle-based interventions for diabetes prevention.
