1 Calculaton of Hazard Ratos and Incdence Rate Ratos [posted as suppled by author] Where the hazard rato (HR) and a confdence nterval were reported the standard error (SE) of the Log(HR) was obtaned usng [1] [ UppCI ] - LowCI SE[Log(HR)] Φ 1 α [1] Where UppCI and LowCI are the value for the upper and lower ends of the confdence nterval for log(hr ), 1 Φ s the nverse cumulatve normal dstrbuton functon andα s the sgnfcance level or p-value (so 5% n [1]). For studes that reported a HR along wth a p-value from the log-rank test, but no confdence nterval, the SE of the Log(HR) was calculated usng the formula gven n [2] [ Log(HR) ] SE[Log(HR)] = Φ 1 α 1-2 [2] For studes that dd not report results n the form of HRs, but nstead reported the percent that developed type 2 dabetes melltus, ncdence rate ratos (IRRs) were estmated usng nformaton on person years of follow-up. Where person years of follow-up was not reported t was estmated by assumng drop-outs, deaths and development of type 2 dabetes melltus had occurred on average half-way through the tral and therefore these ndvduals added half the tral length to the total person years of follow-up. Those who contnued to the end of the tral attrbuted the full tral length to the total. The ncdence rates could therefore be estmated for each nterventon arm (number of dabetcs dvded by total person years of follow-up) and the IRRs calculated.

To adjust for ths the number of dabetcs and estmated person years for the control group was dvded by the number of nterventons from the tral, and the IRRs then calculated, effectvely usng a proporton of the control group. Furthermore, as the Da Qng study was randomsed at the clnc level, the consequental clusterng effect was adjusted for by reanalysng the reported data by fttng a Poson regresson model, wth clnc ncluded as a random effect.
