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

aimsWe aim to explore the support needs of individuals living with type 2 diabetes and disordered eating behaviours.

methodsWe conducted semistructured interviews with adult participants living with type 2 diabetes and self-identified disordered eating behaviours recruited from an Australian allied health service. Data were analysed through reflective thematic analysis.

resultsTen adults with type 2 diabetes (seven female, three male; mean age 66.3 ± 8.97, range: 52-80) were interviewed. Four themes are presented related to participants' support needs: (1) the need for increased information about the interactions between food, eating behaviours and diabetes and self-management; (2) a desire for increased time with knowledgeable health professionals who provide tailored person-centred diabetes care and support; (3) mental health services integrated into diabetes care are desired due to relationships between mental health, disordered eating behaviours and diabetes management; and (4) family, peers and community can offer invaluable support, but stigma can be a barrier to support seeking.

conclusionsIndividuals living with T2DM and disordered eating behaviours report diverse support needs including tailored informational support and emotional support from health professionals, family and peers. Although further research is required to develop and evaluate the implementation of specific interventions and care pathways, health professionals should endeavour to provide adequate time and resources for personalised education, and to promote and facilitate appropriate mental health and peer supports.
