1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveIn patients with diabetic kidney disease, it is well documented that RAS blockade is associated with an improved outcome. This observational, multicenter study examined the "real-world" use of ACEI/ARB in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in China.

methodData from the China Cardiometabolic Registries on blood pressure, blood lipid and blood glucose in Chinese T2DM patients (CCMR-3B) were used for the present study. Consecutive outpatients with T2DM for more than 6 months were recruited to this non-interventional, observational, cross-sectional study. Albuminuria was defined as urine albumin creatinine ratio (ACR) ≥ 30 mg/g.

resultsA total of 25,454 outpatients with T2DM from 6 regions in China were enrolled, 47.0% were male, and 59.8% had hypertension. ACR was measured in 6,383 of these patients and 3,231 of them ≥ 30 mg/L. Among patients with hypertension, 73.0% were on antihypertensives, and 39.7% used ACEI/ARB. Of the 2,157 patients with hypertension and albuminuria, only 48.3% used ACEI/ARB. Among the non-hypertensive patients with albuminuria, ACEI/ARB usage was < 1%. Multivariate analysis revealed that comorbidities, region, hospital tier, physician specialty and patient's educational level were associated with ACEI/ARB use.

conclusionIn T2DM with hypertension and albuminuria in China, more than half of them were not treated with ACEI/ARB. This real world evidence suggests that the current treatment for patients with diabetes coexisting with hypertension and albuminuria in China is sub-optimal.
