Trends in metabolic indicators and microvascular complications in Chinese adults with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes: A retrospective, single-centre study of twenty-years.
Article in Diabetes & vascular disease research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundThe purpose of this study is to assess metabolic indicators and trends in microvascular complications among Chinese adults with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes during 2000-2020.
methods3,907 patients were included and divided into three groups according to a time period of 7 years. This study analyzed trends in proportions of patients reached therapeutic targets of blood glucose, pressure and lipids, and trends in albuminuria, retinopathy, and peripheral neuropathy.
resultsIn the past 20 years, the age of adults with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes tended to be younger, and the proportion of female patients increased. There seemed no improvements in blood glucose and pressure. The rate of awareness and treatment on target of hypertension was less than 50%. There was a significant decrease in the prevalence of retinopathy, but no changes in nephropathy or peripheral neuropathy. Complications were more common for patients who were smoker, male, or with hypertension and obesity.
conclusionsOver the past two decades, there have been encouraging reductions in retinopathy in Chinese adults with newly diagnosed diabetes, but no significant change in albuminuria and peripheral neuropathy. It may be related to the low awareness of diabetes and insufficient controlled blood glucose, pressure and lipids on target.
