Ethnicity, Age, and Gender Differences in Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) Levels among Adults in Northern and Eastern Sudan: A Community-Based Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundThe level of association between glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level and ethnicity, age, and gender is not yet settled. This study aimed to investigate the association between ethnicity, age, and gender and HbA1c level among adults who were known not to have diabetes mellitus in northern and eastern Sudan.
methodsA comparative community-based cross-sectional study was conducted. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics data were collected. HbA1c levels were measured, and multiple linear regression analysis was performed.
resultsA total of 898 adults (363 in northern Sudan and 535 in eastern Sudan) were included; 349 (38.9%) were males. The HbA1c level was significantly higher in eastern Sudan, and there was no significant difference in HbA1c levels between genders. In multiple linear regression, for adults with HbA1c <6.5%, ethnicity and BMI were associated with HbA1c, but age and gender were not associated with HbA1c. In northern Sudan, age was positively associated with HbA1c, and there was no association between gender, BMI, and HbA1c in adults with HbA1c <6.5%. In eastern Sudan, BMI was positively associated with HbA1c, and there was no significant association between age and gender and HbA1c level in adults with HbA1c <6.5%.
conclusionHbA1c levels are influenced by ethnicity and age but not by gender.
