Seasonal Variations in Estimated Whole Blood Viscosity Associated with HbA1c: Evidence from Retrospective Pathology Review for Diabetes Management.
Observational study in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Elevation in the level of whole blood viscosity (WBV) is a known contributor to cardiovascular risk. Moreover, cardiovascular diseases are associated with seasonal variation and the potential impact of seasonal changes on blood viscosity, and associated biomolecules pose substantial cardiovascular risk and are therefore a subject of interest. To evaluate the effect of seasonal changes on whole blood viscosity, glycated haemoglobin and associated biomolecules, namely haematocrit and serum total protein, and their implications on management of diabetic cardiovascular risk are explored. This was a clinical laboratory retrospective observational study involving 10-year pathology data (1999-2008) which estimated whole blood viscosity (eWBV) and the associated biomolecules, namely haematocrit and serum total protein. Comparisons were made between seasonal changes and glycated haemoglobin, whole blood viscosity, haematocrit, and serum total protein levels. Whole blood viscosity, haematocrit, and serum total protein levels increased with colder seasons (
