Risk of Hypoglycemia and Associated Factors Among In-Hospital Chinese Patients With Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA): A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of diabetes research, 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
backgroundLatent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) is characterized by progressive β-cell dysfunction and glycemic lability, which increases susceptibility to in-hospital hypoglycemia. Real-world data on the epidemiology of hypoglycemia and associated factors among LADA inpatients are limited, particularly among multiethnic populations in Southwest China. This study is aimed at exploring the prevalence, regional heterogeneity, and independent associated factors of in-hospital hypoglycemia in the LADA population.
methodsFollowing the STROBE guidelines, 709 hospitalized patients with LADA from five tertiary hospitals in Southwest China from January 2019 to September 2025 were enrolled retrospectively. Missing data were imputed via multiple imputation by chained equations with results pooled using Rubin's rules. Univariate logistic regression was applied for preliminary factor screening. Multicollinearity was evaluated prior to multivariate regression. Model performance was assessed using the AUC for discriminative ability and Nagelkerke's R
resultsThe overall in-hospital hypoglycemia incidence was 47.39%, with evident regional heterogeneity across Southwest China. After pooling results from 20 imputed datasets, seven independently associated factors were identified. These factors included insulin pump therapy (OR = 8.233, 95% CI: 3.914-17.274), the largest amplitude of glycemic excursions (OR = 1.136, 95% CI: 1.081-1.193), length of hospital stay (OR = 1.134, 95% CI: 1.074-1.197), prior hypoglycemia history (OR = 2.447, 95% CI: 1.448-4.024), sex (OR = 1.655, 95% CI: 1.065-2.574), geographic origin (OR = 0.369, 95% CI: 0.225-0.605), and glycated hemoglobin (OR = 0.902, 95% CI: 0.837-0.973). The median AUC and Nagelkerke's R
conclusionsHospitalized LADA patients in Southwest China have a high prevalence of in-hospital hypoglycemia with prominent regional disparities. The identified associated factors support individualized risk stratification, targeted glycemic monitoring, and optimized inpatient management, helping reduce hypoglycemia burden and improve glycemic safety among hospitalized LADA patients.
