Multimorbidity at time of death among persons with type 2 diabetes: a population-based study in Ontario, Canada.
Article in BMC endocrine disorders, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveIndividuals with Type 2 Diabetes are likely to experience multimorbidity and accumulate multiple chronic conditions over their life. We aimed to identify causes of death and chronic conditions at the time of death in a population-based cohort, and to analyze variations in the presence of diabetes at the time of death overall and across income and immigrant status. RESEARCH DESIGN AND
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of 2,199,801 adult deaths from 1992 to 2017 in Ontario, Canada. We calculated the proportion of decedents with chronic conditions at time of death and causes of death. The risk of diabetes at the time of death was modeled across sociodemographic variables with a log binomial regression adjusting for sex, age, immigrant status, area-level income. comorbiditiesand time.
resultsThe leading causes of death in the cohort were cardiovascular and cancer. Decedents with diabetes had a higher prevalence of most chronic conditions than decedents without diabetes, including hypertension, osteo and other arthritis, chronic coronary syndrome, mood disorder, and congestive heart failure. The risk of diabetes at the time of death was 19% higher in immigrants (95%CI 1.18-1.20) and 15% higher in refugees (95%CI 1.12-1.18) compared to long-term residents, and 19% higher in the lowest income quintile (95%CI 1.18-1.20) relative to the highest income quintile, after adjusting for other covariates.
conclusionsIndividuals with diabetes have a greater multimorbidity burden at the time of death, underscoring the importance of multiple chronic disease management among those living with diabetes and further considerations of the social determinants of health.
