Quality of Life is Markedly Impaired by Rheumatological and Skin Manifestations in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes: A Questionnaire Survey.

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
introductionTo estimate lifetime prevalence of diabetes-related upper limb and non-acquired skin manifestations in a representative type 1 diabetes (T1D) population and to identify associations between these conditions and quality of life.
methodsA questionnaire on these complications and measures of quality of life (World Health Organization-Five Well-Being Index [WHO-5]), depression, and diabetes-specific burden (Problem Areas in Diabetes [PAID] scale) was sent to all T1D patients in a Danish clinic (N = 583).
resultsThe response rate was 68.6%. Lifetime prevalence of any upper limb soft tissue lesion was 72%; prevalence of any skin lesion was 10.5%. Frozen shoulder and vitiligo were most common upper limb and skin manifestation, at a prevalence of 53 and 9.1%, respectively. Compared to patients with no skin lesion, those with at least one skin lesion had more depression (19 vs. 33%; P < 0.01) and lower WHO-5 scores. Frozen shoulder was associated with lower WHO-5 scores (P < 0.001), more depression (29 vs. 14%; P < 0.001), and a higher PAID score (P < 0.01). A diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome was associated with lower WHO-5 scores (P < 0.001), a higher risk of depression (29 vs. 16%; P < 0.01), and a higher PAID score (P < 0.001).
conclusionUpper limb soft tissue lesions and diabetes-specific non-acquired skin lesions are very common in patients with T1D and strongly associated with impaired life quality and increased risk of depression.
