Skin intrinsic fluorescence scores are a predictor of all-cause mortality risk in type 1 diabetes: The Epidemiology of Diabetes Complications study.
Observational study in Journal of diabetes and its complications, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
aimsWe assessed the association of skin intrinsic fluorescence (SIF) scores, as a measure of advanced glycation end-products (AGE), with all-cause mortality in type 1 diabetes (T1D).
methodsThis is an observational retrospective study of a convenience sample from the Epidemiology of Diabetes Complications (EDC) study. AGEs were measured with a SIF score between 2007 and 2014; vital status was assessed in 2020.
resultsAmong 245 participants, mean age was 48.6 ± 7.4 years, median diabetes duration was 39.5 years (IQR: 34.2, 44.9), and 53.5% were female. Compared to survivors, the deceased (n = 20) were older, with higher SIF scores, longer diabetes duration, lower body mass index (BMI), and an adverse risk factor profile (all p≤0.05). Univariate Cox regression showed a marginal association between SIF score and mortality (HR: 1.1, 95% CI 0.9-1.2, p = 0.06), which persisted after adjustment for multiple daily insulin shots/pump (MDI) use (HR: 1.1, 95% CI 1.0-1.2, p = 0.04). This association was attenuated after adjustment for T1D duration, A
conclusionsIn individuals with long duration T1D, SIF scores adjusted for MDI predicted all-cause mortality, although this association was attenuated after adjustments. Given the nature of sampling and small number of events, our findings require replication.
