Effect of SARS-CoV-2 on glycemic control in post-COVID-19 diabetic patients.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Aim: To study the clinicodemographic profile, outcomes, and post-COVID change in glycemic control among treated COVID-19-infected patients with poorly controlled or well-controlled diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods: Adult COVID-19-infected patients who tested positive with rapid antigen test or RT-PCR admitted were included in this prospective observational study. Patients were divided into well-controlled and poorly controlled diabetes group based on HbA1c values at admission. Telephonic follow-up and HbA1c estimation was done after three months. Clinical and laboratory investigations performed were compared between both groups. Hazard ratios (HRs) for mortality risk in both well-controlled and poorly controlled COVID-19 patients with DM was done by Cox proportional hazard models. Results: Out of 260 patients, 140 (53.84%) and 120 (46.15%) were poorly and well-controlled diabetics respectively. One hundred sixty-three patients (62.69%) were male, and the mean age was 52.67 ± 15.69 years. Severity, duration of hospital stay, steroid duration, insulin requirement and mean HbA1C, both at admission and after three months, were significantly higher in poorly controlled group than the well-controlled group ( Conclusion: Our results show that well-controlled blood glucose levels or improved glycemic control are associated with a better outcome in patients with COVID-19 and pre-existing type 2 diabetes mellitus.
