Impact of socioeconomic factors on cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and all-cause mortality in patients with uveitis: a Danish cohort study.
Article in BMJ public health, 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
Purpose: Uveitis is a group of intraocular inflammatory conditions that may result in severe visual impairment. The potential interplay between uveitis and socioeconomic factors remains largely unexplored. This study investigated the association between socioeconomic factors and the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and all-cause mortality in patients with uveitis. Design: Nationwide cohort study. Methods: All patients registered with a uveitis diagnosis at a Danish public hospital between 2000 and 2018 were included and stratified into low, intermediate or high educational or household income level. Data from different registers were linked using a personal identification number. Using the high levels as the reference, we estimated incidence rates and cumulative incidence. We quantified the differences using HRs with 95% CIs for cardiovascular disease, diabetes and all-cause mortality through Cox proportional hazards models. Results: In a cohort of 18 225 patients with uveitis, we observed increased rates and risks of all-cause mortality, peripheral artery disease, myocardial infarction, heart failure, ischaemic heart disease, stroke, and diabetes for lower educational or income level. The following HRs (95% CI) were elevated in patients with uveitis with low or intermediate socioeconomic status: all-cause mortality (low status: education: 1.58 (1.30 to 1.90); income: 2.09 (1.70 to 2.59); intermediate status: income: 1.56 (1.25 to 1.94)), diabetes (low status: education: 1.72 (1.33 to 2.23); income: 2.15 (1.65 to 2.79)), peripheral artery disease (low status: education 2.87 (1.77 to 4.68); intermediate status: income: 2.11 (1.35 to 3.30)), myocardial infarction (low status: education: 2.13 (1.32 to 3.44); intermediate status: income: 2.29 (1.40 to 3.75)), heart failure (low status: education: 1.99 (1.33 to 2.96); income: 2.05 (1.35 to 3.11)), ischaemic heart disease (low status: education: 1.62 (1.24 to 2.11)), and stroke (low status: income: 1.70 (1.19 to 2.43)). Conclusion: Patients with uveitis with lower educational or income level faced a statistically significantly increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and mortality. Alongside the direct burden of uveitis, socioeconomic status should also be accounted for when assessing patient risk and designing management strategies.
