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
objectiveType 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease that represent an important problem of public health. The objective of this study was to describe the sociodemographic, anthropometric, metabolic control, comorbidity and cardiovascular risk characteristics of patients diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus type 2 in the health area of Vigo.
methodsRetrospective observational descriptive study. Between March and September 2016, it did telephone interview and an audit of electronic medical records to 195 patients ≥ 18 years old from the health area of Vigo diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. It selected by random sampling with replacement. It evaluated the cardiovascular risk using the method "United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study", the metabolic control with the recommendations of the "American Diabetes Association" 2016, and the comorbidity using the Charlson index. It performed a descriptive and bivariate analysis with R statistical package.
resultsThe glycemic control was adequate (HbA1c less than 7.0%) in the 61.03% of the patients. The 58.46% had a blood pressure under 140/90mmHg, 52.82% had a total cholesterol under 185mg/dl and 66.15% had a triglyceride level under 150mg/dl. The 49.74% presented a high comorbidity (Charlson larger or the same as 3 points). The risk of suffering and/or dying of heart disease was 37.81%, and 23.50% of suffering and/or dying of a stroke in the next 10 years.
conclusionsMost diabetic patients of the health area of Vigo have a good control of their disease but they present a high index of comorbidity and high cardiovascular risk.
