Opportunities To Improve Diabetes Care in the Hemodialysis Unit: A Cohort Study in Ontario, Canada.

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
Background: Patients with diabetes receiving chronic, in-center hemodialysis face healthcare challenges. We examined the prevalence of gaps in their diabetes care, explored regional differences, and determined predictors of care gaps. Methods: We conducted a population-based, retrospective study between January 1, 2016 and January 1, 2018 in Ontario, Canada. We included adults with prevalent diabetes mellitus receiving in-center hemodialysis as of January 1, 2018 and examined the proportion with ( Results: There were 4173 patients with diabetes receiving in-center hemodialysis; the mean age was 67 years, 39% were women, and the majority were of lower socioeconomic status. Approximately 42% of patients had more than one diabetes care gap, the most common being suboptimal retinopathy screening (53%). Significant predictors of more than one gap included younger age, female sex, shorter duration of diabetes, dementia, fewer specialist visits, and not seeing a physician for diabetes. There was evidence of spatial variation in care gaps across our region. Conclusions: There are opportunities to improve diabetes care in patients receiving in-center hemodialysis, particularly screening for retinopathy. Focused efforts to bring diabetes support to high-risk individuals might improve their care and outcomes.
