Validation of Diagnostic Coding for Diabetes Mellitus in Hospitalized Patients.
Article in Endocrine practice : official journal of the American College of Endocrinology and the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, 2022. 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
objectiveSome studies have shown that there is an undercoding of diabetes mellitus among hospitalized patients, which can have adverse clinical and financial implications for health systems. We aimed to validate the discharge diagnostic coding of diabetes mellitus in hospitalized patients using clinical and laboratory-based diagnostic indicators as the reference.
methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study of 83 690 discharges of 48 615 unique adult patients who were hospitalized in an academic medical center over 4.5 years and had at least 4 blood glucose measurements during admission. A missing diabetes code (MDC) was defined using 2 criteria. MDC
resultsMDC
conclusionIn this retrospective study, MDC ranged from 5% to 15% and was associated with various clinical factors. Further prospective studies are needed to validate these findings, explore the mechanisms behind these associations, and understand the clinical and financial implications.
