The effects of type 1 diabetes and its long-term complications on physical and mental health status.
Article in PharmacoEconomics, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 analyse how type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) and the symptoms of its chronic long-term complications correlate with health status domains in the adult population in Finland.
methodsA representative sample of patients with type 1 DM was selected randomly from the Finnish drug reimbursement registry. Participants reported symptoms, diagnoses and treatments indicating the presence and time of appearance of long-term complications, and completed the RAND 36 questionnaire. A principal component analysis was performed to compress the eight RAND 36 dimensions into composite domains of health status. The results were validated with split-sample analysis. Regression analyses were used to estimate the effects of age, sex, symptoms of long-term complications and comorbidities on the component T-scores.
resultsOf the 752 (70.8%) responders, 592 fulfilled the criteria of type 1 DM. Of these, 82.6% fully completed the RAND 36 questionnaire. Principal component analysis of our data supports the theory of the 2-factor model of health, as physical and mental health domains were reflected unambiguously by different RAND 36 dimensions. The regression results show that the symptoms of long-term complications correlate more strongly with the physical than the mental domain of health status.
conclusionType 1 DM, and especially the symptoms of its long-term complications, correlate mainly with the physical domain of health, although the mental domain is also affected. The prevalence of long-term complications with type 1 DM is sufficiently high within the Finnish population to substantially influence the health status of people with type 1 DM.
