Factors associated with glycemic control in Korean older adults with diabetes living alone: A secondary analysis.
Article in Journal of Korean gerontological nursing, 2026. 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
purposeOlder adults living alone face challenges in managing diabetes, yet research on glycemic control in this group is limited. This study analyzed data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2016~2021) to identify factors associated with glycemic control in 453 older adults with diabetes living alone.
methodsGlycemic control was categorized as good (glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c]<7.0%) or poor (HbA1c≥7.0%). Complex sample logistic regression examined demographic, disease and health-related, behavioral, and psychological factors associated with glycemic control.
resultsOlder adults aged ≥80 years had better glycemic control than those aged 65~69 years, while a diabetes duration of ≥15 years and higher body mass index were linked to poorer control. Strength training 5~7 days per week was associated with better control, whereas non-adherence to a healthy diet was unexpectedly linked to better outcomes.
conclusionThese findings highlight the need for tailored interventions to improve diabetes self-management and support healthy aging among older adults living alone. They also offer practical insights into shaping community-based health programs and social support systems for this population.
