Use of a large diabetes electronic medical record system in India: clinical and research applications.
Article in Journal of diabetes science and technology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundThe diabetes electronic medical record (DEMR) has emerged as an effective information management tool with the potential to improve diabetes care and research. This study reports on the usefulness of the DEMR system at Dr. Mohan's Diabetes Specialities Centre (DMDSC), Chennai, India, for clinical and research purposes.
methodsThe DEMR, set up in 1996 at DMDSC, connects data of nine centers/clinics in different geographical areas in Southern India. The present data analysis is based on a total of 226,228 patients registered in the DEMR system at DMDSC between the years 1991 and 2010.
resultsThe DEMR included data of 139,906 male and 86,322 female patients, of whom 92.6% had type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), 1.4% had type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), and the rest had other types. Patients with T2DM had higher prevalence rates of neuropathy (33.1% vs 13.0%, p < .001), microalbuminuria (25.5% vs 20.0%, p < .001), coronary artery disease (17.5% vs 9.2%, p < .001) and peripheral vascular disease (3.9% vs 2.8%, p = .017) compared with T1DM patients, while prevalence of diabetic retinopathy was similar (37.9% vs 35.7%, p = .06). Prevalence of microvascular and macrovascular complications of diabetes increased with increasing glycated hemoglobin levels (p for trend < .001) and increasing diabetes duration (p for trend < .001).
conclusionsThe DEMR helps track diabetes care and is a valuable tool for research.
