Visceral adiposity is associated with the discrepancy between glycated albumin and HbA1c in type 2 diabetes.

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
aimWe investigated the association of visceral adiposity with glycated albumin (GA) as well as GA/hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in type 2 diabetes.
methodsOne hundred twenty-three patients (68 males, 55 females) with type 2 diabetes were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Visceral fat area (VFA) was determined using an abdominal dual bioelectrical impedance analysis (dual BIA) instrument. The relationship of VFA with GA and GA/HbA1c was analyzed.
resultsSimple regression analysis showed that BMI was inversely correlated with GA as well as GA/HbA1c, but not with HbA1c, while VFA had a significant correlation with GA and GA/HbA1c. Furthermore, multiple regression analysis revealed VFA as an independent contributor to GA/HbA1c. These results suggest that visceral adiposity is a primary factor associated with GA and HbA1c level discrepancy in patients with type 2 diabetes.
conclusionsGA is a useful indicator for glycemic control, while visceral obesity should also be taken into consideration in type 2 diabetes cases.
