Cardiovascular risk management in adults with diagnosed diabetes in Mexico from 2016-2023: A retrospective analysis of nationally representative surveys.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 2025. 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
backgroundEffective cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk management is a cornerstone of optimal diabetes care. Here, we estimated the prevalence and determinants of CVD risk factor control amongst individuals with diagnosed diabetes in Mexico.
methodsWe analyzed data from individuals with diagnosed diabetes ≥20 years from the 2016-2023 Mexican National Health and Nutrition Surveys. We estimated the prevalence of glycemic, blood pressure (BP), non-current smoking, and combined CVD risk factor control. LDL-C control was assessed using SCORE2-Diabetes risk categories. We estimated the prevalence of BP-lowering, cholesterol-lowering, and glucose-lowering medication use, and explored determinants of control achievement using logistic regression.
resultsWe analyzed data representing 43.2 million adults with diagnosed diabetes during 2016-2023. In 2023, glycemic control was 29% (95%CI 21%-38%), BP control 22.9% (95%CI 14%-31%), and non-current smoking 89% (95%CI 81%-96%). The proportion of people classified as high or very-high CVD risk increased from 59.8% (95%CI 52.1%-67.0%) in 2016 to 68.4% (95%CI 55.6%-78.9%) in 2023, representing ~5.1 million adults. LDL-C control prevalence increased from 2.8% (95%CI 1.2%-4.4%) in 2016 to 6.6% (95%CI 1.9%-11.2%) in 2023. Combined risk factor control achievement was low primarily due to suboptimal LDL-C control, despite high medication use; this was more likely achieved in females, younger individuals, and those with college education or living in states with higher socioeconomic position.
conclusionsDespite increasing CVD risk during this period, comprehensive glycemic and CVD risk factor management for adults with diabetes in Mexico remains suboptimal. Our findings highlight the need for strategies to address gaps in CVD risk management to reduce premature mortality in this population.
