Achievement of treatment targets among patients with type 2 diabetes in 2015 and 2020 in Canadian primary care.
Article in CMAJ : Canadian Medical Association journal = journal de l'Association medicale canadienne, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
backgroundAn update on the degree to which patients with type 2 diabetes in Canada achieve treatment targets is needed to document progress and identify subgroups that need attention. We sought to estimate the frequency with which patients managed in primary care met treatment targets (i.e., HbA
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study of 32 503 and 44 930 adults with diabetes in Canada on June 30, 2015, and 2020, respectively, using electronic medical record data from primary care practices across 5 provinces. We grouped achievement of diabetes targets by age and sex, and compared between groups using logistic regression with adjustment for cardiovascular comorbidities.
resultsIn 2020, target HbA
interpretationTarget achievement for blood pressure and use of statins and of ACE inhibitors and ARBs declined between 2015 and 2020, and was suboptimal in all patient groups. Widespread quality improvement is needed to increase evidence-based therapy for people with diabetes.
