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

Introduction: Data regarding access to diabetic neuropathy (DN) and diabetic foot (DF) examination, as well as the prevalence of these conditions in refugees and migrants (R&M) with diabetes mellitus (DM) residing in European countries are currently lacking. The study's primary objective was the estimation of DN and DF prevalence among diabetic R&M residing in Greece. Associations between DN diagnosis, demographic characteristics, glycemic control (HbA1c value), housing status and level of access to the National Healthcare System (ESY) were secondarily explored. Materials and methods: R&M with DM were screened for DN/DF at the Doctors of the World's central polyclinic in Athens. For DN diagnosis, calculation of the Neuropathy Disability and Neuropathy Symptoms scores for each patient was followed by examination with 10 g Semmes-Weinstein monofilament. Demographic characteristics were also collected. Logistic regression was used for DN correlation with various variables. For HbA1c value association with the variables "Social Security Number (AMKA) possession" (representing access to ESY) and "unstable housing", Shapiro-Wilk regularity and Mann-Whitney tests were used. Results: From 67 patients examined, 47.8 % ( Conclusion: A significant percentage of our study participants were diagnosed with DN and DF. Significantly lower HbA1c values were observed in patients with AMKA, thus underlining the importance of improving access to healthcare services for marginalized populations in Greece.
