Use of cardiovascular disease medications and mortality in people with older onset diabetes.
Article in American journal of public health, 1992. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Mortality follow-up for a cohort defined in 1980 with diabetes diagnosed at 30 years of age or older has been completed through 1988. History of medication use was obtained during the initial evaluation. There were 605 (44.2%) confirmed deaths; heart disease was the underlying cause in 49.9% of the deaths. Use of loop diuretics was associated with an odds ratio of death of 1.8 (95% CI = 1.4, 2.2). Although a causal relationship cannot be inferred, it is reasonable to suggest that blood chemistries be monitored regularly in persons on these drugs since electrolyte imbalance may be related to death.
