1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionScreening for islet-specific autoantibodies can identify individuals at risk for type 1 diabetes (T1D). Despite calls for increased nationwide autoantibody screening efforts, it is unclear how many individuals have participated in screening among people who may benefit from it. Moreover, knowledge and perceptions of autoantibody screening in real-world samples are not well understood.

methodsWe surveyed a sample of individuals (aged 18+ years old) from T1D Exchange Registry with a personal or family history of T1D to assess their self-reported T1D autoantibody knowledge, experiences, and attitudes. Participants belonged to one of three groups: adults with T1D who had a biological child without T1D or future plans for a child (PWD); parents without T1D who had a biological child with T1D and one or more biological children without T1D (Caregivers); and first-degree adult children or siblings to a person with T1D (Relatives). Descriptive analyses (means, standard deviations, frequencies) are presented by participant groups.

resultsA total of 510 participants enrolled in the study. Across groups, participants reported feeling a little to somewhat knowledgeable about autoantibody screening and positive perceptions of autoantibody screening in general. However, few participants had screened their child without T1D (PWDs, 21.94%; Caregivers, 46.30%) or themselves (Relatives, 19.23%). Among those who had screened, participants reported generally positive experiences. Among those who had not screened, many participants were "undecided" about autoantibody screening (PWD, 38.46%; Caregivers, 40.52%; Relatives, 44.44%). Influences reported for participants' decisions to screen, not screen, or their current indecision differed by group: PWDs (21.70%) and Caregivers (26.87%) most often reported self-initiated research as an influence and Relatives reported they had not previously considered screening (48.28%).

conclusionResults highlight the need for more accessible information about screening, including real experiences from those who have screened.
