Diabetes in the Middle East: Government Health Care Policies and Strategies that Address the Growing Diabetes Prevalence in the Middle East.
Review in Current diabetes reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 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
purpose of reviewDiabetes is a primary public health concern and a challenge for health decision makers in this century. Though the number of people with diabetes is increasing all over the globe, the very high prevalence of diabetes in many Middle East countries has made this region one of the global diabetes hot spots. Due to rapid socioeconomic growth, lifestyle changes and increasing obesity prevalence, the number of people with diabetes is expected to double by 2045 in this region. This high prevalence of diabetes imposes a substantial socioeconomic impact on the individual and governments in this region. The governments in the Middle East have devised many policies, programs, and strategies to address the growing prevalence of diabetes. In this article, we aim to review such policies, programs, and the magnitude of diabetes in this part of the world. RECENT
findingsFaced with a challenge on a high scale, most governments in the Middle East are making progress in responding to diabetes. Diabetes is a chronic and costly disease; however, it can be prevented. The alarm of the rising tide of diabetes has not yet been successfully translated into action in the Middle East. The governments in the region need to devise more intense, broader policies and preventive measure programs based on local sociocultural practices to effectively combat the situation. Further improvements of the primary health care system and cross-governmental approaches are needed in the region to keep the growing epidemic of diabetes under control.
