Diabetes, race, and functional limitations in older U.S. men and women.
Article in Diabetes research and clinical practice, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
aimsThe presence of diabetes is associated with increased odds of difficulties in functional tasks but it remains unclear if the burden is similar by race.
methodsOur study included 122,004 non-Hispanic Black (NHB) and non-Hispanic White (NHW) adults ≥50 years from the U.S. National Health Interview Survey (2001-2012). Diabetes was defined as self-reported diagnosis or medication use. Functional limitations were defined as any self-reported difficulty in performing mobility tasks, general physical activities (GPA), or leisure and social activities (LSA). Logistic regression models were created to investigate the relationship of race with functional limitations accounting for key covariates, among men and women, by diabetes status.
resultsAmong older U.S. adults, NHB versus NHW women without diabetes had a higher odds of limitations in mobility (OR=1.39, 1.30-1.49) and LSA (OR=1.13, 1.05-1.23) without diabetes but a similar odds of these limitations with diabetes by race, after adjusting for age, income, education, obesity, arthritis, heart disease, stroke, COPD, and cancer. Interestingly, NHB versus NHW women had significantly lower odds of GPA, irrespective of diabetes status. However, NHB versus NHW men with diabetes had a persistently higher odds for mobility and LSA limitations with diabetes as follows: mobility (OR=1.30, 1.12-1.51) and LSA limitations (OR=1.07, 1.06-1.34). The interaction of race and diabetes was significant among women for mobility limitations (p<0.01), but not men.
conclusionsThe burden of functional limitations differs by race among both men and women with diabetes. Future studies should examine mechanisms underlying these differences to prevent progression to disability in older adults with diabetes.
