A systematic review and meta-analysis of the association between low socioeconomic status and all-cause mortality in patients with 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
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and all-cause mortality among individuals with diabetes. We also examined how individual SES components, including income, employment, education, and housing conditions, were associated with mortality risk. Methods: Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, we searched PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science through September 2025. Eligible studies included adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes reporting associations between SES indicators (income, education, occupation, or area-level deprivation) and all-cause mortality. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using fixed- or random-effects models based on heterogeneity (I Results: Nineteen studies were included. Low SES was associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality (OR = 1.67; 95% CI: 1.49-1.88; Conclusion: Low socioeconomic status is associated with increased mortality among individuals with diabetes. Addressing socioeconomic inequalities through improved access to education, employment opportunities, healthy environments, and equitable healthcare may help reduce survival disparities and mitigate the overall burden of diabetes.
