Emergency department visits in African Americans with mild cognitive impairment and diabetes.
Trial report in Journal of diabetes and its complications, 2021. 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
aimsDementia, diabetes, and African American race are three factors that are independently associated with emergency department (ED) use. This study tested the hypothesis that ED use is associated with worse cognitive function in African Americans with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and poorly controlled diabetes.
methodsThis study examined differences in ED use among African Americans with MCI and diabetes in a secondary data analysis of baseline data from a one-year randomized controlled trial (N = 101).
resultsOver one year, 49/92 participants (53.3%) had at least one ED visit. At baseline, participants who had an incident ED visit had significantly fewer years of education; lower scores on neuropsychological tests assessing working memory, psychomotor speed, and complex scanning; higher diabetes-related interpersonal distress scores; lower adherence to a diabetes medication; and higher hemoglobin A1c levels compared to participants with no ED visits (p ≤ 0.05 for all comparisons).
conclusionsThis study identified multiple risk factors for ED visits in older African Americans with MCI and diabetes. Targeted interventions may be necessary to reduce the need for ED care in high risk populations.
