Multimorbidity in Diabetic Patients Admitted to a Tertiary Care Center: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: Multimorbidity is defined as the co-occurrence of two or more chronic conditions in the same individual. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus rarely occurs without coexisting diseases. With an increasing elder population and longevity, elder adults have a higher prevalence of chronic morbidity, thus increasing the chances of experiencing more than one non-communicable chronic condition, where the impact of multimorbidity is greater than the cumulative effect of the single condition. The study aimed to find out the prevalence of multimorbidity in diabetic patients admitted to a tertiary care centre. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted utilising hospital records of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus admitted to the Department of Medicine from 1 April 2021 to 1 April 2022. Ethical clearance was obtained from the Institutional Review Committee of the same institute (Reference number: 12082022/07). The diagnosed cases of type 2 diabetic patients aged more than 18 years and confirmed with serum glucose levels were included in the study. Convenience sampling was used. Point estimate and 95% Confidence Interval were calculated. Results: Out of the 107 diabetic patients, multimorbidity was present in 75 patients (70.10%) (61.42-78.77, 95% Confidence Interval). Conclusions: The prevalence of multimorbidity is higher than the similar studies done in similar settings. Keywords: co-morbidity; diabetes mellitus; multimorbidity; osteoarthritis.
