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

aimsYoung women with type 1 diabetes (T1D) have higher risks of diabetes complications and report higher diabetes distress and lower quality of life than men with T1D. Their experiences of self-management and need for support have received little attention, and targeted interventions are lacking. The aim of this qualitative interview study was to explore the experiences of young women with T1D after participating in an intervention with the person-centred reflection and problem-solving model Guided Self-Determination-Young (GSD-Y), with a focus on self-management and support in daily diabetes care.

methodsA qualitative interview study was performed in a paediatric and an adult diabetes outpatient clinic in Sweden. After participating in an intervention with GSD-Y, 12 women (15-20 years) with T1D were selected and interviewed individually. The interviews were analysed using inductive qualitative content analysis.

resultsThe analysis revealed an overarching theme: 'A person-centred approach facilitated deeper reflection on both an individual and a relational level', and two main categories: 'The process initiated within the individual', and 'The process initiated together with the health care provider'. The women experienced increased knowledge of, and increased ability to manage diabetes. They also experienced a new type of relationship with the health care provider, including exchange of in-depth information beyond glucose levels, which appeared to increase their ability to receive support.

conclusionsThe GSD-Y model provided tools to explore and clarify the individual needs of young women with T1D, which supported diabetes self-management. Person-centred care was enabled when the women became engaged as active partners in diabetes health care.
