Factors Contributing to the Diabetes Burden in the Elderly: A Clinical Perspective.

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
aimThis study aims to evaluate the various factors that contribute to the burden of diabetes in elderly individuals with type 2 diabetes.
methodsThe descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted in the internal medicine clinic of a training and study hospital in Türkiye between January 2018 and May 2019. The study sample consisted of 102 elderly individuals aged 65 years and older with type 2 diabetes. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using the Sociodemographic Characteristics Data Form and the Burden of Diabetes in the Elderly Scale.
resultsThe mean total score for the Elderly Burden Diabetes Scale of participants' was 50.98 ± 15.59. When the scores (min = 18, max = 88 points) that could be obtained from the scale were taken into account, it was evident that the diabetes burden of elderly individuals with type 2 diabetes was below the moderate level. Age group, marital status and duration of diabetes diagnosis did not affect diabetes burden (p > 0.05). Diabetes burden was higher in patients with education below the undergraduate level, those who used combined oral antidiabetic and insulin treatment, and those with comorbidities (p < 0.05). While there was a negative relationship between comorbidity status and diabetes burden, there was a positive relationship between diabetes treatment and diabetes burden (p < 0.05).
conclusionsIt was found that the diabetes burden of elderly individuals with type 2 diabetes was below the mean, and combined treatments and the presence of comorbidities increased the diabetes burden. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Improving the drug management of elderly individuals with type 2 diabetes and effectively controlling comorbidities in older individuals may play an important role in reducing the burden of diabetes.
