*Estimated from, or transformation of, original data.

†Incidence of type 2 diabetes per 100 person years in control group.

‡Quality assessed by allocation of concealment and Jadad score (comprises randomisation and blinding, both marked out of 2), and description of withdrawals and dropouts (marked out of 1). Total Jadad score was therefore out of 5.
