School Meal Participation, Overall Dietary Intake, and Prediabetes Prevalence Among U.S. Adolescents: Insights From the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2017-2023).
Article in Diabetes, obesity, and cardiometabolic CARE. 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
objectivePrediabetes is an emerging public health concern among U.S. adolescents, yet nationally representative, up-to-date data on dietary contributors remain limited. Especially, the role of overall dietary intake and school meal participation (providing a substantial portion of daily calories in school children) has not been comprehensively evaluated. This study examined cross-sectional associations between school meal participation, overall dietary intake, and prediabetes (defined as having HbA RESEARCH DESIGN AND
methodsNational Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data (2017-2020, 2021-2023) were analyzed, including adolescents (aged 12-18 years) with complete fasting glucose and HbA
resultsPrediabetes prevalence was 33.8% (SE 3.0) and obesity prevalence was 20.96% (SE 1.44). School breakfast participation at least once a week was associated with higher prediabetes prevalence (prevalence ratio [PR] 1.3 (95% CI 1.01-1.66), while school lunch participation was not. Higher vitamin E and B6 intake was linked to lower prediabetes prevalence (PR 0.96, 0.94-0.99; 0.9, 0.81-0.99). Higher fruit intake was inversely (PR 0.96, 0.92-0.99) associated with prediabetes among adolescents with obesity.
conclusionsSchool breakfast participation and specific dietary components were associated with prediabetes risk in U.S. adolescents. While confirmation is needed, the nutritional quality of school breakfasts may represent an important intervention target.
