Clinical factors associated with advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) levels evaluated by skin autofluorescence of schoolchildren in Japan.

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
Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) formed by non-enzymatic glycation reactions between sugars and proteins have been implicated in various age-related disorders. Skin autofluorescence (SAF) is a noninvasive method for estimating the accumulated AGEs levels in the human body. However, the SAF values in healthy children have not yet been reported. This study aimed to determine reference values and factors affecting SAF values in apparently healthy schoolchildren. The study included 426 children (aged 8.9 ± 1.7 yr), including 224 boys and 202 girls from one public elementary school. SAF values were measured using an AGE reader. Data on the perinatal history, eating and exercise habits, lifestyle, family background, and medical history of the participants and their family medical history were collected using a questionnaire. The mean SAF value of the participants was 1.06 ± 0.19 AU, lower than that of healthy adults, and did not increase with calendar age. Moreover, a family history of diabetes within second-degree relatives was the sole significant factor associated with SAF values (p = 0.045), and it exhibited no association with life environmental factors. In conclusion, genetically defined susceptibility to glycation may be the most important factor in AGE accumulation in schoolchildren.
