Diabetes retinopathy and related health management in Asians versus whites using BRFSS 2005-2017 data.
Article in International journal of physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeAsian Americans had high rate of type 2 diabetes and less risk for diabetes complications compared to white. The purpose of this study was to examine diabetic retinopathy and related healthcare management among Asian American adults with diabetes. MATERIALS AND
methodAsian and white type 2 diabetes participants from 2005-2017 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data were used to perform the analysis. SAS 9.4 survey procedures were used to conduct the statistical test. Health care management variables (self-blood sugar check, eye check and HbA1C check with doctors, health care professional visit) were analyzed and compared between Asian and white.
resultsDuring 2005-2017, diabetic retinopathy (DR) rate among Asian Americans was 10% higher than white, and Asian Americans was more than 100% more likely to develop DR compared to white. Asian Americans was less likely to check their blood sugar once a day (P<0.05 for all years except 2005 and 2007) and more likely to see the health care professional and perform eye and HbA1C check even the relationship was not statistically significant. After adjusting all the demo-social factors and health care management factors, Asian still had higher rate of DR compared to white.
conclusionAsian Americans had higher rate of DR rate compared to white. Asian and white all had low rate of selfcare of blood sugar. Interventions for DR need to apply among Asian population.
