Diabetes related phenotypes and their influence on outcomes of patients with corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Article in Diabetology & metabolic syndrome, 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
introductionDiabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with severe forms of COVID-19 but little is known about the diabetes-related phenotype considering pre-admission, on-admission and data covering the entire hospitalization period.
methodsWe analyzed COVID-19 inpatients (n = 3327) aged 61.2(48.2-71.4) years attended from March to September 2020 in a public hospital.
resultsDM group (n = 1218) differed from Non-DM group (n = 2109) by higher age, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure and lower O2 saturation on admission. Gender, ethnicity and COVID-19-related symptoms were similar. Glucose and several markers of inflammation, tissue injury and organ dysfunction were higher among patients with diabetes: troponin, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine phosphokinase (CPK), C-reactive protein (CRP), lactate, brain natriuretic peptide, urea, creatinine, sodium, potassium but lower albumin levels. Hospital (12 × 11 days) and intensive care unit permanence (10 × 9 days) were similar but DM group needed more vasoactive, anticoagulant and anti-platelet drugs, oxygen therapy, endotracheal intubation and dialysis. Lethality was higher in patients with diabetes (39.3% × 30.7%) and increased with glucose levels and age, in male sex and with BMI < 30 kg/m2 in both groups (obesity paradox). It was lower with previous treatment with ACEi/BRA in both groups. Ethnicity and education level did not result in different outcomes between groups. Higher frequency of comorbidities (hypertension, cardiovascular/renal disease, stroke), of inflammatory (higher leucocyte number, RCP, LDH, troponin) and renal markers (urea, creatinine, potassium levels and lower sodium, magnesium) differentiated lethality risk between patients with and without diabetes.
conclusionsComorbidities, inflammatory markers and renal disfunction but not Covid-19-related symptoms, obesity, ethnicity and education level differentiated lethality risk between patients with and without diabetes.
