Caregiver and Patient Experiences With the Diabetes Care Team Impact Utilization of Medical Nutrition Therapy in Pediatric Type 1 Diabetes.
Article in The science of diabetes self-management and care, 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
purposeThe purpose of the study was to understand how patient/family experiences with the diabetes care team impact medical nutrition therapy (MNT) utilization in pediatric type 1 diabetes (T1D).
methodsUtilizing a qualitative descriptive research design augmented by phenomenological principles, we conducted supplementary analysis of data collected during semi-structured interviews with caregivers of children with T1D <18 years and youth with T1D ages 12 to 17 years with T1D duration ≥1 year. Interview guides were informed by the socioecological framework, with 1 section dedicated to the exploration of patient/caregiver MNT-based experiences with the diabetes care team.
resultsQualitative analysis of data from 18 completed interviews (9 caregivers, 9 patients) yielded important themes with regard to how experiences with the diabetes care team influence MNT utilization in the child with T1D. These included (1) dissatisfaction and confusion regarding nutrition education at the time of T1D diagnosis, (2) misalignment of nutrition goals/lack of perceived utility during outpatient T1D visits, (3) observed gaps in nutritional counseling during outpatient T1D visits, and (4) opportunities to optimize patient/family nutrition experiences with the outpatient diabetes care team.
conclusionsThis study produced important insights into the impact of patient/caregiver interactions with the diabetes care team on MNT perceptions and experiences. Initiatives aimed at strengthening and individualizing nutrition education are imperative in optimizing MNT utilization in pediatric T1D.
