What do Youth with Type 1 Diabetes Know about the HbA1c Test?
Article in Children's health care : journal of the Association for the Care of Children's Health, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
The purpose of this study was to examine youths' knowledge of the hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test and glycemic control. Seventy youths (11-16 year olds) with type 1 diabetes were interviewed concerning their knowledge of the HbA1c test, health risks associated with particular HbA1c values, and their own glycemic goals. Results revealed that only 13% of youths accurately described the HbA1c test. Fewer correctly identified the HbA1c ranges for good, fair, and poor glycemic control. The majority of youths did not know the blood glucose values corresponding to specific HbA1c results. Only a small number of youth correctly estimated the short-term and long-term risks associated with maintenance of HbA1c of 7% and 12%. In this sample of mostly lower-income, minority youths with type 1 diabetes, there was a significant lack of knowledge concerning the meaning and implications of the HbA1c test. Findings suggest that interventions for this patient population should use the HbA1c test results to help young patients to better understand and set goals for their glycemic control.
