Complications and characteristics of patients referred to a joint diabetes renal clinic in Ireland.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
BACKGROUND AND
methodsJoint diabetes renal (JDR) clinics are recommended as the appropriate model of care to manage advanced diabetic-associated renal failure. We performed a retrospective review of clinical data and records of the first 60 patients who attended our service and their follow-up at 12 months.
resultsOf the patients, 88 % had type 2 diabetes. At the first visit, 43 % had retinopathy, 56 % had neuropathy, 48 % had overt cardiovascular disease, 13 % had a previous history of stroke and 36 % peripheral arterial disease. Ten percent had lower limb amputation and 33 % had never previously seen a diabetologist. Fifteen percent were still on metformin despite significant renal impairment, while 43 % were on three or more different antihypertensives. Sixty-eight percent were either on an ACE inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker. At 12 months, a trend towards a reduction in HbA1c (7.6 ± 2.0 vs. 7.0 ± 1.6 %, p = 0.14) and systolic (159.4 ± 30.8 vs. 141.8 ± 35.5 mmHg, p = 0.13) and diastolic blood pressure (73.2 ± 9.3 vs. 69.2 ± 9.4 mmHg, p = 0.075) was observed. No significant differences were found in the lipid profile or creatinine clearance within the group.
conclusionThirty-three percent of patients with advanced diabetic nephropathy had never previously seen a diabetes consultant and a significant proportion had other diabetes-related complications. Patients with diabetic nephropathy may therefore benefit from having a multidisciplinary input at a joint diabetes renal clinic.
