1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

methodsHospital Saudi Registry at Prince Sultan Military Medical City, Chronic Illness Clinics (Family and Community Medicine), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia database was started in February 2019 and data were collected until February 2020. The data were collected by trained diabetes nurse specialists. The registry includes all patients with type II diabetes mellitus (DM) and excluded patients with type I DM. Results: A total of 8,209 patients were enrolled in the registry with a higher proportion of females than males. The mean age was 59.3 years, BMI 32.5kg/m2, and HBA1c levels was 8.2%. Significant gender differences for BMI, duration of diabetes, blood pressure, LDL, smoking status, and medication intake. From the first to the third visit, BMI was raised; however, LDL, diastolic blood pressure, and albumin creatinine ratio were reduced. The mean HBA1c values plummeted for all patients and 33% of the patients had a reduction in the HbA1c levels. However, HbA1c levels increased for 24.7% of the patients' from baseline to the last visit.

conclusionThis registry provides great insights into the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of diabetic patients in Saudi Arabia. This registry data can be used to investigate the associations between sociodemographic or clinical characteristics and glycemic control among T2DM patients in Saudi Arabia.
