Clinical and Demographic Characteristics Associated with Type 1 Diabetes Distress in Latin American Children.

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
Objective: To determine the degree of diabetes-specific distress in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and its association with demographic characteristics, family and educational situation indicators, glycemic control, complications, and disease duration. Study design: A cross-sectional study (Jan-Mar 2025) in Argentina and Chile included 143 T1DM patients (8-17 years, ≥1-year duration). Diabetes distress was measured using the Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID) questionnaire (0-80; high distress ≥40). Results: One hundred forty-three children (53.8%; 77 females), median age 13.4 years (IQR 11.5-15.8 years), T1DM duration 4.4 y (IQR 3.3-6.6 years), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) 8.5%, 69.8 mmol/mol (IQR 7.4%-9.4%), were included. The median PAID score was 25 (IQR 15-42), with 28% (95% CI: 20.6-35.3) experiencing high distress (PAID ≥ 40). HbA1c was higher in children with high distress 9.00% (IQR: 8.1%-10.4%) than in moderate 8.5% (IQR: 7.5%-9.7%) or low distress 7.8% (IQR: 7.0%-8.9%). There was a higher prevalence of children living with only one parent among those with high or moderate distress (33.3%, 95% CI: 24%-34%) compared to those with low distress (9.8%, 95% CI: 2%-18%). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that higher HbA1c values were significantly associated with being in the high distress group (OR = 1.48; 95% CI: 1.12-1.96 per % point HbA1c), adjusted for confounding variables. Conclusions: Diabetes distress was linked to higher HbA1c in Latin American children with T1DM. This suggests that addressing diabetes distress may contribute to improved glycemic control.
