Comparison of Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) Values Estimated by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography and Spectrophotometry: A Pilot Study.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Background Invasive blood sample collection followed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) based analysis is the gold standard for estimating glycated hemoglobin level or HbA1c currently. Spectrophotometry could be an alternative that holds the potential to be translated into a portable, non-invasive device for glycated hemoglobin level estimation. This study compares HbA1c values obtained from HPLC and spectrophotometry. Methods Venous blood samples were collected from both diabetic and non-diabetic participants in a cross-sectional study. The samples were subjected to both HPLC and spectrophotometry-based estimation of HbA1c%. The results obtained were compared, and the relationship between the two estimations were assessed. Results About 15 diabetic and non-diabetic individuals participated in the study and 28 samples were included in the final analysis. The Pearson's correlation coefficient was 0.65 (95% CI, 0.37-0.82), indicating that there was a strong positive association. This was further supported by the findings from linear regression analysis with a p-value of <0.001. Conclusions The positive correlation between the HPLC and spectrophotometric values supports the hypothesis that spectrophotometry could be an alternative to conventional HPLC for the measurement of HbA1c. This needs to be further validated through larger, well-powered studies.
