Rates of Severe Influenza-Associated Outcomes Among Older Adults Living With Diabetes-Influenza Hospitalization Surveillance Network (FluSurv-NET), 2012-2017.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is common among older adults hospitalized with influenza, yet data are limited on the impact of DM on risk of severe influenza-associated outcomes. Methods: We included adults aged ≥65 years hospitalized with influenza during 2012-2013 through 2016-2017 from the Influenza Hospitalization Surveillance Network (FluSurv-NET), a population-based surveillance system for laboratory-confirmed influenza-associated hospitalizations conducted in defined counties within 13 states. We calculated population denominators using the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services county-specific DM prevalence estimates and National Center for Health Statistics population data. We present pooled rates and rate ratios (RRs) of intensive care unit (ICU) admission, pneumonia diagnosis, mechanical ventilation, and in-hospital death for persons with and without DM. We estimated RRs and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using meta-analysis with site as a random effect in order to control for site differences in the estimates. Results: Of 31 934 hospitalized adults included in the analysis, 34% had DM. Compared to those without DM, adults with DM had higher rates of influenza-associated hospitalization (RR, 1.57 [95% CI, 1.43-1.72]), ICU admission (RR, 1.84 [95% CI, 1.67-2.04]), pneumonia (RR, 1.57 [95% CI, 1.42-1.73]), mechanical ventilation (RR, 1.95 [95% CI, 1.74-2.20]), and in-hospital death (RR, 1.48 [95% CI, 1.23-1.80]). Conclusions: Older adults with DM have higher rates of severe influenza-associated outcomes compared to those without DM. These findings reinforce the importance of preventing influenza virus infections through annual vaccination, and early treatment of influenza illness with antivirals in older adults with DM.
