Association between subjective health status and responses to traditional Korean medicine assessments in healthy adults: A cross-sectional study.

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
Subjective health status comprises an individual's self-assessment of health and indicates their actual health outcomes. This study aimed to explore the relationship between traditional Korean Medicine (KM) inquiry outcomes and subjective health status to provide a better understanding of the potential benefits of KM practices, which have been overlooked in existing research. This observational study recruited 5987 healthy adults (age ≥ 19 years) between April 11, 2022, and December 19, 2023. Participants were surveyed using standardized KM inquiries and subjective health status assessments. Statistical analyses included chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression analyses to examine the relationship between KM inquiry outcomes and subjective health status. An analysis of 4935 respondents who completed KM inquiries revealed that factors affecting subjective health status for both men and women included appetite, digestive discomfort, residual urine sensation, waking condition, cold intolerance, and exercise habits. Factors affecting subjective health status differed slightly by sex; for men, dry mouth and alcohol consumption were significant, whereas, for women, dry mouth, meal frequency, sleep quality, and feelings after sweating were significant. This study confirms the utility of KM inquiries in assessing the subjective health status of healthy adults and provides insights into the development of sex-specific lifestyle health-management strategies.
