Microvascular diabetes complications in a specialist young adult diabetes service.

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
aimsThe provision of medical care to young adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus is challenging. The aim of this study was to determine the rates of microvascular complications and their progression among patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus attending a specialist young adult diabetes service in Ireland.
methodsA retrospective review of 62 (male 56.5%) patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus attending the young adult diabetes service at our institution was undertaken. Data was recorded across two time points, clinic registration and at 5 years following initial contact.
resultsThe mean ± SD age at first attendance was 17.4 ± 2.0 years. Mean ± SD duration of diabetes was 6.3 ± 3.9 years with most patients treated using multiple daily insulin injections (75.8%). diabetic retinopathy rate at first attendance was 17.7% and after 5 years was 37.1% (p = 0.003). The majority of cases were background retinopathy. The prevalence of diabetic kidney disease was 6.4% and this remained unchanged at follow-up. Mean ± SD HbA
conclusionsDiabetic retinopathy is prevalent in young adults with type 1 diabetes attending specialist secondary care diabetes services. Duration of diabetes was the strongest determinant of retinopathy risk.
