Assessment of Mortality Rate, Need for ICU Admission and Ventilation in COVID-19 Patients with Diabetes Mellitus.

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
introductionCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a threat to public health. People with chronic diseases, such as diabetes, are at a greater risk of severe diseases and death upon contracting this new disease. Due to the novelty of COVID-19, no specific information is available about the degree of its mortality and risk factors among diabetic patients. Therefore, this study aims to compare diabetic and nondiabetic COVID-19 patients regarding mortality rate, the need for intensive care unit (ICU) admission, invasive and noninvasive ventilation, and the associated risk factors.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional study performed on the medical records of 650 adult COVID-19 patients (325 diabetics and 325 nondiabetics) admitted to Razi Hospital in Ahvaz from March 2020 to September 2020.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 61.3 years in the diabetic group and 52.3 years in the nondiabetic group. Men comprised 48.3% of the diabetic group and 59.7% of the nondiabetic group. Diabetic patients suffered from significantly more underlying diseases, such as ischemic heart disease (IHD), hypertension (HTN), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and acute renal failure (ARF) compared to the nondiabetic group (
conclusionIn diabetic patients, the mortality rate, need for ICU admission, and need for invasive ventilation were significantly higher than nondiabetic patients. Our logistic regression analysis in diabetic patients with COVID-19 showed that age, CKD, and ARF were the risk factors affecting mortality. In contrast, age and CKD were the risk factors affecting the rate of ICU admission, and CKD and ARF were the risk factors affecting the need for invasive ventilation.
