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

purpose of reviewThis systematic review sought to synthetize recent studies on psychological interventions aiming to address parental psychosocial factors in families of children and adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). Particularly, its purpose was to characterize intervention designs, frameworks, and delivery modalities, as well as to examine their findings on both parental psychosocial and youth glycemic outcomes. RECENT

findingsTwenty-six manuscripts from 2019 to 2025 were selected, including randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental designs, pilot, feasibility, and protocol studies. Most interventions were grounded in cognitive-behavioral frameworks and implemented through a range of diverse delivery formats. Overall, the available evidence indicates that the interventions are associated with improvements across a range of parental psychosocial factors (e.g., diabetes distress, depressive and anxiety symptoms, fear of hypoglycemia, and quality of life), while findings regarding glycemic outcomes were heterogeneous across studies. Interventions targeting parents of youth with T1D appear effective in enhancing psychosocial adjustment. The diversity of study designs, theoretical frameworks, and intervention approaches reflects both heterogeneity and a robust scientific evidence base, with potential for adaptation and replication across different contexts.
