Continuity of diabetes care among elderly Japanese patients: a medical record review study in a specialized diabetes clinic.

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
Aims: Continuity of diabetes care is relevant among elderly patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of clinical characteristics on continuing outpatient visits to a specialized diabetes clinic in elderly Japanese patients with diabetes. Methods: We included outpatients with type 2 diabetes aged ≥ 65 years who first visited our clinic from 2006 to 2009. The information of patients' characteristics was obtained through medical record review from the CoDiC database. We have tracked whether the patients continued to visit the clinic until May 31, 2019. A Cox proportional hazards regression model identified variables related to withdrawal. Results: Among 128 patients, 63 patients (49.2%) were withdrawn during the follow-up periods. The average visit duration of withdrawals was 4.6 (range 1, 10) years. The patients who discontinued to visit were older (72.6 vs. 69.5 years old, Conclusions: Our findings indicated that continuous outpatient visits were difficult in elderly Japanese patients with diabetes. Older age (≥ 75 years) independently affected withdrawal. Future multicenter studies with adequate populations and social and geriatric factors are necessary to confirm our findings.
