Type 2 Diabetes Correlates with Comorbidity and Nutritional Status but Not with Functional Health in Geriatric Ward Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study in Poland.
Article in Diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity : targets and therapy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
purposeThe study aimed to assess the comorbidity profile, functional, and nutritional health in geriatric ward patients depending on their type 2 diabetes (DM) status. PATIENTS AND
methodsWe performed a cross-sectional study of 416 patients - median age 82 years (IQR 77-86), 77.4% female, 96.9% community-dwelling - consecutively admitted to the geriatric ward at the turn of 2014 and 2015. Comprehensive geriatric assessment results were analyzed (including self-care and instrumental activities of daily living, cognitive abilities, emotional health, risk of falls, frailty status, dynapenia, nutritional health, morbidity, biochemical parameters, and pharmacotherapy).
resultsDM was observed in 126 (30.3%) patients hospitalized in the study period; 4% of DM cases were newly diagnosed. In comparison to patients without DM, older adults with type 2 DM were significantly more frequently burdened with multimorbidity (61.1% versus 39.7%, P<0.001), polypharmacy (88.9% versus 74.7%, P=0.001), obesity (59.8% versus 34.5%, P<0.001), abdominal obesity (94.4% versus 75.5%, P<001), chronic kidney disease (61.1% versus 48.6%, P=0.02) and cardiovascular diseases: ischemic heart disease (66.7% versus 47.9%, P<0.001), congestive heart failure (50.0% versus 34.1%, P=0.002), atrial fibrillation (30.2% versus 20.7%, P=0.04) and peripheral arterial disease (24.6% versus 11.4%, p<0.001). There were no significant differences in all functional parameters evaluated.
conclusionType 2 DM patients were significantly more often burdened with multimorbidity, polypharmacy, obesity, and had an unfavorable profile of cardiovascular diseases than patients without DM, but - contrary to our expectations - they did not differ in any functional characteristic assessed. However, this may be due to the geriatric ward patients' specificity of health problems in the advanced, more complex disablement process phases.
