Comparative Analysis of Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Registrations and Risk Factor Correlations in the UK (2022-24).
Article in Cureus, 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
backgroundDiabetes mellitus imposes a growing burden due to rising prevalence, complications, and costs. Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), an autoimmune condition, primarily affects younger individuals, whereas Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is linked to lifestyle and socioeconomic factors in adults. Understanding how demographic, socioeconomic, and ethnic factors correlate with T1D and T2D registrations can guide targeted interventions.
objectivesTo compare correlations between risk factors (age, socioeconomic deprivation, ethnicity) and T1D versus T2D registrations in the UK across the 2022-23 and 2023-24 audit periods.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective, observational study using National Diabetes Audit (NDA) data from 2022-23 Q1 and 2023-24 Q1 on T1D and T2D registrations, which were cleaned and standardized. Correlation matrices and difference heatmaps were generated for numeric variables (age bands, Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) quintiles, ethnicity percentages, registrations) using seaborn. Trends and intergroup differences were analyzed.
resultsT1D registrations correlated strongly with the under‑40 age group (r≈0.82-0.85) and weakly with socioeconomic deprivation (IMD most deprived: r≈0.15-0.18). T2D registrations correlated most with middle‑aged and older bands (40-64: r≈0.73-0.75; 65-79: r≈0.65-0.68) and strongly with IMD most deprived (r≈0.60-0.62). Ethnicity correlations: T1D strongest in White patients (r≈0.82-0.85), while T2D showed elevated associations with Asian British (r≈0.45-0.47) and Black British (r≈0.40-0.42). Difference analyses revealed widening age‑band disparities between T1D and T2D in 2023-24.
conclusionsDistinct patterns between T1D and T2D emphasize the need for differentiated strategies: youth‑focused management for T1D and socioeconomic and culturally tailored interventions for T2D. Continued monitoring and targeted public health policies are essential to reduce disparities and improve outcomes.
