Predictive factors for three-year mortality after discharge in elderly patients: a comparison of those with and without diabetes.

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
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with increased mortality in hospitalized adults. However, data regarding the impact of DM on long-term mortality after discharge in very old patients are scarce. This prospective study assessed 3-year post-discharge mortality and its predictive factors in older patients, focusing on possible differences between patients with and without DM. Material and methods: Medical history, chronic medication use, clinical and laboratory characteristics, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), 5-item Fried Frailty Score (FFS), Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS), Barthel Index (BI), and Katz Index were recorded on admission. Results: A total of 815 older adults (46.0% males) with a median age of 83.0 years (IQR: 77.0-88.0) were included in the study. The 3-year mortality rate was 54.9% in patients with DM ( Conclusions: A high post-discharge mortality rate was observed in very old patients. DM was not identified as an independent factor of post-discharge mortality. Assessment of frailty and disability in very old patients is important for predicting long-term post-discharge mortality. Additionally, in patients with DM, evaluating BMI and UACR may aid in better prediction of 3-year mortality.
