Long-Term Changes in HbA1c According to Blood Glucose Control Status During the First 3 Months After Visiting a Tertiary University Hospital.
Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundWe evaluated patients visiting a tertiary university hospital due to a diagnosis of diabetes with a goal of achieving blood glucose control and evaluated blood glucose persistence over 7 years according to the change in blood glucose evident at 3 months after the first visit.
methodsPatients treated from 2009 to 2013 were categorized into four groups according to the change in HbA1c levels during the first 3 months of follow-up (Best_group, ≥ 1.6% decrease; Better_group, 0.5-1.5% decrease; Neutral_group, maintained at -0.4% to +0.4%; Worse_group, ≥ 0.5% increase). Each patient's blood glucose control status was then monitored for 7 years. The incidence of stroke and acute coronary syndrome during this period was confirmed.
resultsOverall, 9,776 patients were included. HbA1c values were lower in the Best_group than in the other groups at all time points (all
conclusionBlood glucose control status in the first 3 months after initiating hospital care enabled estimation of the patient's glycemic control status for the next 7 years. In cases with poor initial blood glucose control, a new or more active method of blood glucose control should be sought.
