Prevalence of poor glycemic control among elderly type 2 diabetes patients in rural India.
Article in Bioinformation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Poor glycemic control remains a major public health problem among elderly patients with type 2 diabetes in rural India. Therefore, it is of interest to assess poor glycemic control among 378 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes attending a rural health centre in Coimbatore. Data were collected using structured interviews and HbA1c measurements to assess glycemic status. Data show that 77.5% of participants had inadequate glycemic control with HbA1c levels above 7. A significant association was observed between longer duration of diabetes and poor glycemic control, while no significant associations were found with age, gender, education, treatment type, comorbidities, or health education. This study advances knowledge by highlighting a high prevalence of poor glycemic control among elderly patients with type 2 diabetes in a rural setting. It identifies longer duration of diabetes as a key determinant, emphasizing the need for duration-focused glycemic management.
