Situational awareness predicts self-management of type I diabetes in adolescents and young adults.
Article in Health psychology : official journal of the Division of Health Psychology, American Psychological Association, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveUsing a hybrid closed-loop system predicts higher time in target glucose range (TIR) for adolescents and young adults with type I diabetes (T1D). However, patients do not always use these systems effectively for self-management. Based on Two Minds Theory, we hypothesized that more automatic and proactive ways of interacting with the system would be associated with higher TIR, whereas more reactive responses to system prompts would not.
methodWe recruited 20 patients with T1D from a diabetes clinic. Participants used the Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ technology (Control-IQ) hybrid closed-loop system. For 2 weeks, they also completed daily surveys about T1D self-management, plus triggered surveys each time they interacted with Control-IQ about their reasons and perceived automaticity.
resultsProactive reasons for interacting with Control-IQ, such as planning to eat, predicted higher TIR. Reactive interactions, for example, responding to system alerts, did not. In fact, participants had higher TIR when they interacted less often with Control-IQ and administered fewer manual boluses. Self-reported automaticity did not predict TIR, but perceived self-management did. Suspecting high glucose was associated with higher TIR regardless of accuracy.
conclusionsAdolescents who interacted less intensively and more proactively with a hybrid closed-loop system had better glucose control. Accurate perception of glucose mattered less than believing one's glucose might be too high; it is possible that situationally aware participants detected increases before their glucose went out of range. Better measures of automaticity are needed. Hybrid closed-loop systems help adolescents and young adults self-manage T1D when used in a situationally aware way.
