A Systematic Review of Recent Studies on Hospital Readmissions of Patients With Diabetes.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Hospital readmissions are a major area of concern across the healthcare ecosystem. Diabetes mellitus (DM) and associated complications significantly contributed to hospital readmissions in 2018, placing it among the leading causes alongside septicemia and heart failure. Diabetes is an urgent public health concern that has reached epidemic proportions globally. Compared to the early 2000s, the prevalence of diabetes among individuals aged 20-79 years in the US has significantly increased. This research provides an in-depth examination of diabetes-related hospital readmissions and reviews recent studies (2015-2023) to understand the characteristics, risk factors, and potential outcomes for re-admitted diabetes patients. The study identified 21 articles that met the inclusion criteria to provide valuable insights and analyze risk factors associated with these readmissions. The findings indicated that risk factors such as age, demographics, income, insurance type, severity of illness, and comorbidities among diabetic patients were critical and warranted further investigation. Diabetes awareness, quality of hospital care, involvement of healthcare providers, timely screening, and lifestyle changes were noted as important factors to improve the effectiveness of healthcare delivery, reduce diabetes-related complications, and eventually lower preventable hospital readmissions.
