Eye Focusing Ability Can Predict Glycated Hemoglobin Level of Type-1 Diabetes Patients.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 and Aims: Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes. However, current tests are complex, invasive, costly, and often met with low compliance. This study aimed to find whether simple clinical, noninvasive measures of the ocular accommodation function may predict the glycated hemoglobin results in type-1 diabetes mellitus. Methods: In a single-examiner-blind study, Near Point of Accommodation (NPA) and Lag of Accommodation (LoA) were compared between type-1 diabetes patients and controls. NPA was measured by the push-up-to-blur method, LoA by the Monocular Estimation Method (MEM) retinoscopy, and glycated hemoglobin was recorded with a Point-of-Care (POC) HbA1c analyzer. The independent Results: Diabetic patients had a receded mean NPA (15.16 ± 4.53 cm) compared to controls (9.48 ± 1.43 cm; Conclusions: The study found eye accommodation was significantly affected in recent type-1 diabetes patients, indicating its sensitivity to diabetes. SEM using these ocular measures accounts for one-third of HbA1c variance. Thus, accommodative function assessments could be a simple, noninvasive, and cost-effective method for evaluating HbA1c levels. LoA is not a good predictor of HbA1c.
