Burden of Diabetes and Temporal Trends in Clinic Attendance at a Sub-Urban Primary Diabetes Centre in South West Nigeria: A Five-Year Retrospective Study.
Review in Nigerian medical journal : journal of the Nigeria Medical Association. 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
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an increasing public health burden in sub-Saharan Africa, yet longitudinal primary care trends remain underreported. This study assessed the burden of DM and temporal trends in clinic attendance at the Talabi Diabetes Centre (TDC) in Isara-Remo, Ogun State, from 2021 to 2025. Methodology: A retrospective review of 4,475 patients managed between 2021 and 2025 was conducted. Data on socio-demographic characteristics, clinical diagnoses, and service utilisation were analysed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, Cochran-Armitage trend analysis, and multinomial logistic regression. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: The studied mean age was 57.4 ± 9.8 years, with 80.0% aged ≥50 years and 67.5% female. DM accounted for 61.5% of cases, hypertension 18.7%, and other conditions 19.8%. Most patients (76.3%) were overweight or obese. Annual clinic attendance fluctuated significantly (χ Conclusion: DM remains the leading cause of clinic attendance, though its proportional burden is declining alongside rising non-diabetic conditions. Ageing, female sex, and obesity are key determinants of disease burden. These findings highlight the need for strengthened integrated chronic disease management in primary care settings.
