Hospitalisation from seasonal influenza among persons with type 1 diabetes: a cohort study from the Swedish National Diabetes Register.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate the risk of severe influenza resulting in hospitalisation among adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
designNationwide cohort study using register data. SETTINGS: Data from the National Diabetes Register (NDR) linked to the Swedish Patient Register, Statistics Sweden and the Swedish Population Register.
participantsPersons with T1D in the Swedish NDR n=35 596 and control persons from the Swedish Population Register matched on age, sex and county of residence, n=155 590. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOMES: Hospitalisation from seasonal influenza from October 2013 to December 2019. Season-wise incidence and HRs were analysed in the T1D group compared with controls. Secondary outcomes were associations between clinical variables and hospitalisation due to seasonal influenza for persons with T1D.
resultsThere were 347 (1.0%) influenza admissions in persons with T1D and 332 (0.2%) in the control group. The overall incidence rate was 16.9/10 000 person-years in the T1D group and 3.6/10 000 person-years for the control group. Persons with T1D had an unadjusted HR 4.7 (95% CI 4.0 to 5.5) for risk of hospitalisation from influenza during the study period and HR 3.4 (95% CI 2.9 to 4.0) when adjusted for age, sex, socioeconomic factors and chronic medical conditions at baseline. Within the T1D cohort, individuals hospitalised due to influenza were older, were more often smokers, had lower glomerular filtration rate and more often had a previous history of ischaemic heart disease and stroke.
conclusionsTo our knowledge, this is the first large study to highlight that persons with T1D have a threefold higher risk of hospitalisation due to seasonal influenza compared with matched controls from the general population. It is important for healthcare professionals to acknowledge this excess risk, particularly in older persons with T1D, who have cardiovascular risk factors and reduced kidney function.
