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

Objective: This study aimed to compare levels of alexithymia, psychological problems, emotion regulation difficulties, and disordered eating behaviors between adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) and healthy controls and to examine the relationship among these factors. Method: The study was conducted at Ankara Bilkent City Hospital and included 115 adolescents aged 12-18 years, comprising 64 adolescents with T1D and 51 healthy controls. All participants completed the Alexithymia Questionnaire for Children (AQC), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), and Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q). Adolescents with diabetes were additionally assessed using the Diabetes Eating Problem Survey-Revised (DEPS-R), and their hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels from the previous six months were recorded. Results: No differences were found between adolescents with T1D and healthy controls in total scores on the AQC, DERS, SDQ, and EDE-Q. Female participants and adolescents with psychiatric disorders had higher DEPS-R score. DEPS-R scores were positively correlated with total SDQ, DERS, and AQC scores, as well as body mass index (BMI), and negatively correlated with maternal education level. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that SDQ total difficulties scores and BMI were associated with higher DEPS-R scores. Conclusion: These findings suggest that disordered eating behaviors in adolescents with T1D may be associated with psychological difficulties and higher BMI. Addressing these factors is important in the clinical management of adolescents with diabetes.
