Correlation of diabetes and adverse outcomes in hospitalized COVID-19 patients admitted to a tertiary hospital in China during a small-scale COVID-19 outbreak.
Article in PeerJ, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of diabetes on mortality and adverse outcomes in COVID-19 patients and to analyse the associated risk factors. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study in 500 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 infection (214 with diabetes and 286 without diabetes) admitted to a tertiary hospital in China from December 2022 to February 2023. Demographic information, clinical characteristics and outcomes were collected. Survival status was investigated at discharge and at 6 months after discharge. Results: The mortality rate of COVID-19 patients with diabetes was higher than the rate of non-diabetic COVID-19 patients, both at discharge, and at 6 months after discharge. Body mass index (BMI), C-reactive protein (CRP), pH, D-dimer, blood osmotic pressure, serum creatinine, white blood cell count, creatine kinase and hospitalization expenses were significantly different between diabetic group and non-diabetic group ( Conclusion: Infection with COVID-19 on the basis of diabetes can significantly increase mortality, which was further associated with diabetes control indicators.
