Effect of the Diabetic Nephropathy Aggravation Prevention Program on medical visit behavior in individuals under the municipal national health insurance.
Article in Journal of diabetes investigation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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/
introductionWe aimed to clarify the effectiveness of the Diabetic Nephropathy Aggravation Prevention Program in Japan by comparing the diabetes-related medical visit behavior of individuals under the municipal national health insurance according to insurers' effort levels. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe assessed changes in medical visit behavior according to insurers' effort levels, "Full Efforts," "Some Efforts" and "No Effort," using longitudinal data from the National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Checkups before 2015 and after 2018 regarding the national health insurance programs in Japan. We analyzed the effect of the Diabetic Nephropathy Aggravation Prevention Program using a generalized linear mixed model for 208,388 participants with diabetes.
resultsThe additive effect on medical visit behavior was significantly higher for insurers with "Full Efforts" than for those with "No Effort;" the coefficient (log odds ratio) was 0.159 (95% confidence interval 0.063-0.256). The additive effects on medical visit behavior sizes for the people with hemoglobin A1c ≥7.0%, positive urinary protein and systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg were 0.508, 0.402 and 0.232, respectively, which were larger than the overall effect size (0.159) for insurers with "Full Efforts."
conclusionsOur findings showed that insurer efforts had an additive effect on the increase in the number of medical visits, suggesting that this national program could reduce the number of end-stage renal failures or dialysis in Japan.
