Type 2 diabetes complications in ethnic minority compared with European host populations: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to quantify differences in type 2 diabetes (T2D) complications between ethnic minority populations and European host populations, in both cross-sectional and prospective studies. Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses guidelines, we searched multiple databases for studies (until July 1, 2024) with T2D complications as outcome. Studies were included if they compared ethnic minority populations to the host population and were conducted in Europe. T2D complications included mortality, macrovascular and microvascular complications and mental disorders. Risk of bias was assessed with the assessment tool for observational cohort and cross-sectional studies. Risk estimates were pooled using random effects models. From a total of 2901 references, 58 studies were included, comprising 805 to 1 230 410 individuals for the meta-analyzed complications. Compared with the host population, ethnic minority populations generally had a lower risk of all-cause mortality (RR 0.70 (95% CI 0.63; 0.77); I
