Determinants of Health-Related Quality of Life in Children and Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Health science reports, 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
Background and Aim: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic condition that affects emotional, physical, social, and academic functioning of children and adolescents. Assessing health-related quality of life (HRQoL) provides insight into the broader impact of T1DM. This study evaluated HRQoL among pediatric patients with T1DM in southwest Iran using reports from children and parents. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 234 children aged 5-16 years with T1DM and their parents at Abuzar Hospital (Ahvaz, Iran). HRQoL was assessed using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) version 4.0 completed by both children and parents, and the PedsQL 3.2 Diabetes Module. Demographic, clinical, and lifestyle characteristics were collected. Results: Children reported the highest scores for physical functioning and the lowest scores for school functioning. Parents rated their children's HRQoL significantly lower than children did across all domains ( Conclusion: Pediatric patients with T1DM in this study had the lowest HRQoL scores in school functioning. Differences between children's and parents' reports suggest that parents may perceive a greater impact of diabetes than children. Lower HRQoL among girls highlights the need for additional psychosocial support. Routine HRQoL assessment, psychosocial support, regular physical activity, carbohydrate counting education, and family-centered care may improve overall well-being in these patients.
