1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionAmong youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D), longitudinal poor glycemic control is associated with adverse socioeconomic conditions at the neighborhood level. Child Opportunity Index (COI), which encompasses measures of education, health, environment, social, and economic factors, is associated with obesity in youth but has not been evaluated in youth with new-onset T1D or type 2 diabetes (T2D). We hypothesized that lower COI would be associated with adverse clinical outcomes at diabetes diagnosis, and due to differing risk factors and pathophysiology, that youth with new-onset T2D would have lower COI than youth with T1D. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsRetrospective cohort of youth with new-onset diabetes admitted to a large academic pediatric hospital. COI was compared by diabetes type using t-tests and Χ

resultsThe cohort (n=484) differed in race and age by diabetes type (T1D: n=389; 10.0% black, 81.2% white; age 9.6±0.2 years; T2D: n=95; 44.2% black, 48.4% white; age 14.8±0.3 years). Youth with T2D had lower COI (p<0.001). Low COI was associated with diabetic ketoacidosis in T1D and T2D. Black youth with low COI had the highest hemoglobin A1c among youth with T2D and the highest obesity prevalence among youth with T1D.

conclusionsCOI is associated with differing characteristics at diagnosis in youth-onset T1D and T2D but is worse among youth with T2D overall. These findings underscore the need to address socioeconomic adversity when designing interventions to reduce T2D risk and to improve outcomes at diabetes diagnosis in youth.
