Adherence to diabetes care process indicators in migrants as compared to non-migrants with diabetes: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in International journal of public health, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivesPrevalence rate of diabetes is high among migrants. Whether migrants are correctly addressed to a standard quality of care for diabetes and are properly followed up are the questions addressed by this retrospective cohort study.
methodsCompliance to one or repeated Guideline Composite Indicator (GCI), a standard process indicator of care quality, was tested in migrants compared to non-migrant Italian residents with diabetes, living in Tuscany Region, Italy, in years 2011-2015. For those with no GCI, the analysis was repeated for the chance of being tested by at least one or more HbA1c measurements.
resultsGCI compliance, in a single or repeated manner over time, was significantly less likely by about 15-20% among migrants (n = 3992) compared to non-migrants (n = 130,874), even after fully matching both cohorts. For those with no GCI, being tested by HbA1c was still significantly less likely among migrants.
conclusionsBeing addressed to a standard quality of care is impaired among migrant patients with diabetes living in Tuscany compared to non-migrants. Migrants, moreover, have a significantly lower probability of adhering to guidelines or to be tested by HbA1c measurement over time.
