1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionSince the appearance of the first case of the SARS CoV 2 infection, several studies have been conducted to identify the predictive factors of mortality in patients with COVID-19. According to previous reports, diabetes seems to be associated with severe clinical forms of the new coronavirus (SARS CoV 2).Our study aimed to identify the epidemiological, clinical, radiological and prognostic profile of diabetic patients with COVID-19.

methodsThis retrospective study included diabetic patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and admitted to the Resuscitation Department of our university hospital center From Mars 1st 2020, to December 31st, 2020. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: In this study, we collected the data of 600 patients admitted to the Anesthesia and Resuscitation Department of the Mohammed VI University Hospital of Oujda, a group of 188 (31.3%) had diabetes.The median age of our patients was 67 [25-75]. Were noted in the majority, of patients 69.6% with diabetes have developed a severe or critical injuries in the Chest CT Scan. Furthermore, we found that the mortality rate in this category of patients was higher 65/188 (34.60%) compared to non-diabetic patients, 130/412 (31.60%) (34.60%vs 31.60%; p: 0.464).

conclusionBased on the results of this retrospective study, we concluded that diabetes is predictive factor for the need of an intensive care as well as a high risk of mortality related to COVID-19.Practically speaking, diabetic patients should be monitored more closely and need an aggressive preventive management protocols in order to prevent severe forms of the disease and a drastic evolution.More research is direly needed to identify patients of a higher risk of developing severe forms of COVID-19.
