Prevalence and Predictors of Albuminuria in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study from the United Arab Emirates.

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/
introductionAlbuminuria in Diabetes mellitus (DM) patients may lead to nephropathy and end-stage renal disease. Our study aimed to assess the prevalence of albuminuria and its associated predictors among type 2 DM patients in the United Arab Emirates.
methodsA retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted among type 2 DM patients in the diabetic clinic at Fujairah Hospital from 1st January 2016 to 30th January 2020 after getting the ethical clearance. Data were collected electronically from the health information system and analyzed using SPSS version 26. Regression analysis and ANOVA were used for inferential analysis. A P-value of ≤0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Among the 200 patients included in the study, the mean age of the study population was 56 years, and the majority of them were females (71%). The prevalence of albuminuria was found to be 44%. By using regression analysis, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c; P=0.038) and systolic blood pressure (SBP; P=0.003) were found to be predictors of albuminuria. One way ANOVA revealed that there were significant associations between the albumin levels and HbA1c (P=0.004), SBP (P= 0.002), diastolic blood pressure (DBP; P=0.028), serum creatinine (Scr) (P=0.039), and glomerular filtration rate (GFR; P=0.013).
conclusionTo the best of our knowledge, this is the first study from Fujairah emirate that explored the prevalence and predictors of albuminuria in type 2 DM patients. We found a high prevalence of albuminuria among type 2 DM patients. HbA1c and SBP directly contributed to albuminuria. To improve glycemic control, patients need to improve physical activity, reduce overweight and, adherence to medications that improve overall therapeutic outcomes.
