Predictive value of admission glycemia in diabetics with pulmonary embolism compared to non-diabetic patients.
Article in Acta diabetologica, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
aimsTo examine the relationship between admission glucose (AG) level and short-term in-hospital mortality and to investigate the association between hyperglycemia and major bleeding in PE patients with and without DMT2.
methodsWe evaluated 1165 patients with diagnosed acute PE with multi-detector computed tomography pulmonary angiography (MDCT-PA) enrolled in the Regional multicenter PE registry (REPER). The study population was classified to patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DMT2) and those without diabetes. According to quartiles of AG patients, both groups separately were categorized into four subgroups (DMT2 I: < 7.5 mmol/L; II: 7.5-10.0 mmol/L; III: 10.0-15.7 mmol/L; IV: > 15.7 mmol/L and (non-DMT2 I: < 5.5 mmol/L; II: 5.5-6.3 mmol/L; III: 6.3-7.9 mmol/L; IV: > 7.9 mmol/L).
resultsAll-cause mortality was higher in the DMT2 group (9.5% vs. 18.2%, p < 0.001), and PE-cause mortality was 6% for the patients without DMT2 and 12.4% for DMT2 patients (p = 0.02). The patients in the fourth AG quartiles in both groups, without DMT2 and with DMT2, had significantly higher all-cause and PE-cause in-hospital mortality compared with the first quartile. Rates of major bleeding were similar between the groups. On the multivariable analysis, after adjusting for age, gender and mortality risk, the adherence in the fourth AG quartile had an independent predictive value for all-cause death (HR 2.476, 95% CI 1.017-6.027) only in DM patients.
conclusionIn our cohort of patients with acute PE, diabetes was associated with increased rates for all-cause and PE-cause mortality.
