Health-related quality of life in type 1 diabetes without or with symptoms of long-term complications.
Article in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 papers.
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
objectiveTo measure subjective health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with type 1 diabetes and describe the influence of symptoms of diabetes-related long-term complications on HRQoL.
methodsThe 15-D health-related quality of life measure (15D) was used to measure HRQoL of a representative sample of Finnish insulin-treated patients expected to have type 1 diabetes. Background data were gathered with a separate questionnaire. A tobit (censored regression) model was constructed to estimate the effects of symptoms of complications on HRQoL and to separate these effects from those of other health problems and aging.
resultsThe 15D scores declined markedly with increasing age, and the prevalence of symptoms of long-term complications increased. The tobit regression model showed that these symptoms have a significant negative influence on HRQoL. The model explained over 50% of the variation in the 15D scores.
conclusionsHigh prevalence of symptoms of long-term complications combined with their significant negative influence on HRQoL causes substantial losses in terms of quality of life and utility from both individual and societal perspectives. Thus, the importance of secondary prevention, i.e., prevention of complications by better metabolic control, and also the so-far theoretic possibility to prevent type 1 diabetes itself is emphasized.
