Prevalence and associated factors of vascular complications among inpatients with type 2 diabetes: A retrospective database study at a tertiary care department, Ningbo, China.
Article in PloS one, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
To determine the prevalence of vascular complications among inpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and factors independently associated with vascular complications in a tertiary care department in Ningbo, China, the authors conducted a cross-sectional study using an existing computerised medical records database. A total of 3370 adult patients with T2DM were admitted to this tertiary care department for the first time between 2012 and 2017. Patients were categorised as those (1) with at least one vascular complication, (2) with at least one microvascular complication, and (3) with at least one macrovascular complication. Over 5 years, the prevalence of vascular, microvascular, and macrovascular complications among inpatients with T2DM was 73.2%, 57.5%, and 51.4%, respectively. The odds of vascular, microvascular, and macrovascular complications increased with age and were higher in patients with hypertension. The odds of vascular and microvascular complications were higher in single, divorced, or widowed patients, patients with T2DM for a long time, and patients on advanced T2DM therapeutic regimen. The odds of vascular and macrovascular complications were lower in women. The odds of microvascular complications decreased with education. The odds of macrovascular complications were higher in smokers. In conclusion, in the tertiary care department, more than half of inpatients with T2DM had vascular complications, and factors independently associated with vascular complications were identified. The study findings could be used in future interventional studies to prevent and manage vascular complications among these patients.
