Autoimmune diseases and their prevalence in Saudi Arabian patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Article in Saudi medical journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesTo evaluate the prevalence of autoimmune disorders among young and adult populations diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah, Saudi Arabia, and assess the potential impact of these conditions on other comorbidities.
methodsA retrospective, descriptive study examined autoimmune disorders in T1DM youth and adults. A total of 2258 verified T1DMs were tested. Analyzed hospital and laboratory data. Autoimmune T1DM was investigated clinically and laboratory.
resultsA total of 2258 T1DM adults, adolescents, and children were investigated; 500 (22.2%) were under 12, 540 (23.9%) were 13-17, and 1218 (53.9%) were 18 plus. Autoimmune with T1DM was 67.4%. Gender and age affect prevalence. 25.7% of adult females had autoimmune thyroiditis. Children and adolescents have greater rates of celiac disease than adults of both genders. Adrenal insufficiency was more frequent in adults. Adult males had 28.5% polyglandular autoimmune diseases, and women had 19.7%. Type 1 DM and other autoimmune illnesses increase the risk of nephropathy, CVD, and hypoglycemia. Bloodstream biomarkers linked to these disorders corroborate this.
conclusionAutoimmune diseases in Saudi patients with T1DM exhibited specificity with respect to gender and age. Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah have a heightened prevalence of autoimmune diseases among young individuals diagnosed with T1DM, such as celiac disease and autoimmune thyroiditis. Conversely, older individuals in the region have been observed to exhibit a greater incidence of adrenal failure and polyglandular autoimmune disorders. Autoimmune diseases that result in nephropathy, CVD, and hypoglycemia are highly prevalent based on biomarker levels.
