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

introductionIn a cohort of families of school-age children (8-12.99 years old) with type 1 diabetes, we examined the stability of parent and child diabetes-related distress (DRD) over 6 months and the associations between parent and child DRD and child glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) over time. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsWe recruited families from two large pediatric hospital systems in the USA and used validated measures of parent (Parent Problem Areas in Diabetes-Child, PPAID-C) and child (Problem Areas in Diabetes-Child, PAID-C) DRD and children's HbA1c. We collected data at baseline and 6 months. We calculated minimal clinically important differences in PPAID-C and PAID-C to examine DRD stability and used a linear regression model to examine associations between PPAID-C and PAID-C scores and child HbA1c over time.

resultsWe recruited n=132 parent-child dyads (mean child age=10.23±1.5 years; 50% male, 86% non-Hispanic white). 60% of children and 55% of parents reported stable DRD levels, 20% of children and 14% of parents reported increasing DRD levels, and 20% of children and 31% of parents reported decreasing DRD levels from baseline to 6 months. In the regression model, child HbA1c and DRD scores at baseline significantly predicted child HbA1c 6 months later, β=0.013, t(157)=2.32, p=0.02.

conclusionsAcross 6 months, DRD remained stable or increased in 80% of school-aged children and 69% of parents. Only child HbA1c and DRD at baseline predicted higher child HbA1c 6 months later. Our results suggest it may be valuable to screen families of school-age children for DRD routinely and to develop treatments to help them reduce DRD.
