Inferior Nutritional Status Significantly Differentiates Dialysis Patients with Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes.
Observational study in Nutrients, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Diabetes mellitus is currently the leading cause of end-stage renal disease. Assessing nutritional status is an important component of care in this group. This prospective observational study aimed to assess the nutritional status of type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients on hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis and its relationship with hospitalizations and all-cause death. Adult patients with end-stage renal disease, treated with dialysis, and suffering from type 1 or type 2 diabetes, being treated with insulin, were included in the study. Exclusion criteria comprised other types of diabetes, the patient's refusal to participate in the study, and severe disorders impacting verbal-logical communication. The nutritional status based on the Nutritional Risk Index, the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index, fat distribution measures, and the Charlson Comorbidity Index was estimated for 95 Caucasian dialysis patients with type 1 (n = 25) or type 2 (n = 70) diabetes. Patients with type 1 diabetes exhibited significantly inferior nutritional status and increased nutritional risk than those with type 2 diabetes. Lower values of nutritional indices significantly differentiated patients with type 1 from those with type 2 diabetes, with ≥84% sensitivity and specificity. Inferior nutritional status was related to all-cause hospitalizations, whereas higher comorbidity was associated with a greater likelihood of cardiovascular hospitalizations and all-cause death. The significant difference between patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes being treated with dialysis indicates that these patients should not be considered as a homogeneous group, while also considering the greater age of patients with type 2 diabetes.
