Beyond Glycaemia: Socioeconomic Factors and Diabetes Distress are Associated with Health-Related Quality of Life in People with Type 2 Diabetes.
Article in Journal of the ASEAN Federation of Endocrine Societies, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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: Diabetes is a complex multifactorial disease. Therapy focused only on managing glycaemia does not yield optimal health outcomes. Health-related Quality of Life (HRQOL) is a broad, subjective, and multidimensional concept gaining significance in diabetes care. The complex interplay of HRQOL and other factors must be addressed to achieve optimal health outcomes. Objective: We aim to describe the factors associated with HRQOL in type 2 diabetes. Methodology: A single-center cross-sectional short messaging service (SMS) survey invited adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with ≥1 clinic attendance in the past year. Participants completed the Problem Areas in Diabetes-5 (PAID-5), Diabetes Distress Scale-17 (DDS17), and European Quality of Life Score (EQ-5D-5L). Demographic and diabetes-related data were retrieved from electronic medical records. Multiple regression models were created with EQ-5D-5L Index score (HRQOL) as the dependent variable. Result: A total of 1406 people with T2D participated, 46.4% women, mean (SD) age 61.1 (13.4) years, BMI 27.1 (5.4) kg/ m Conclusion: Multiple non-glycemic factors like sociodemographic, socioeconomic, diabetes distress, impact health-related QoL in people with type 2 diabetes.
