Correlation between Glycation-Related Biomarkers and Quality of Life in the General Japanese Population: The Iwaki Cross-Sectional Research Study.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. 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
The correlation between diabetes-related biomarkers and quality of life (QOL) remains unclear. In this cross-sectional study, we investigated the correlation between diabetes-related biomarkers and QOL in a general Japanese population who underwent health checkups as a part of the Iwaki Health Promotion Project. Male and female participants aged ≥ 20 years from Iwaki District, Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture who participated in the 2019 medical evaluation were recruited. QOL was evaluated using the Short Form Health Survey 36 (SF-36). Fasting blood glucose, homeostatic model assessment-estimated insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), glycoalbumin, and plasma pentosidine were also evaluated as diabetes-related markers. Of the 1065 recruited participants, 1053 completed the clinical and QOL evaluations. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that upregulated diabetes-related markers levels were correlated with decreased SF-36 scores. Blood glucose, HOMA-IR, HbA1c, glycoalbumin, and plasma pentosidine levels were correlated with general health. Moreover, plasma pentosidine levels were correlated with role physical, social functioning, and role emotional in addition to general health. These results indicated that the levels of diabetes-related biomarkers, particularly the levels of plasma pentosidine, a glycation marker, were associated with QOL in our cohort.
