Investigation of the Characteristics of Telomere Length in Koreans and Its Association With Chronic Metabolic Disorders: A Comprehensive Study.
Article in Journal of cellular and molecular medicine, 2025. 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
Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences located at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes, forming protective caps that prevent chromosomal degradation and inappropriate repair during cell division. Telomere shortening has been linked to ageing and various age-related diseases. In this study, we validated the reference range for telomere length established through the analysis of 1011 Korean individuals to confirm its robustness. Telomere length showed a declining trend with increasing age, with no statistically significant differences observed between sexes. Diabetic and dyslipidaemic groups had shorter telomeres than the control group. These findings suggest that telomere length may be a biomarker of biological ageing and could be linked to metabolic conditions. Future research could build upon these observations to explore telomere dynamics in broader populations and investigate their clinical relevance across diverse health outcomes. Furthermore, longitudinal studies are needed to determine whether telomere shortening is a cause or consequence of these metabolic conditions. Additionally, incorporating advanced methodologies, such as next-generation sequencing, could enhance our understanding of telomere biology and improve the accuracy of telomere-based measurements in both research and clinical settings.
