Physical symptom complaints, cognitive emotion regulation strategies, self-compassion and diabetes distress among adults with Type 2 diabetes.

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
aimsDiabetes-related distress is common among adults with Type 2 diabetes and is consistently associated with poorer self-management and treatment outcomes. However, little is known about the psychological factors that may contribute to or protect against diabetes distress. This study examined illness burden, and positive and negative ways of thinking and relating to oneself in times of stress, as independent correlates of diabetes distress, cross sectionally and longitudinally.
methodA total of 120 adults treated for Type 2 diabetes reported their physical symptom complaints, cognitive emotion regulation, self-compassion and diabetes distress at baseline; 110 completed a 3-month follow-up assessment of diabetes distress. Pearson correlations and multivariable linear regression tested baseline and longitudinal relationships.
resultsBaseline diabetes distress was associated with greater use of negative cognitive emotion regulation strategies (r = 0.43, P < 0.01), greater tendency towards self-criticism, self-judgement and over-identification (r = 0.37, P < 0.01), and greater physical symptom burden (r = 0.50, P < 0.01). Baseline physical symptoms and negative cognitive emotion regulation were independently associated with baseline diabetes distress. Baseline physical symptoms and negative aspects of self-compassion significantly predicted diabetes distress over 3 months. Positive aspects of cognitive emotion regulation and self-compassion were not independently associated with diabetes distress cross sectionally or longitudinally.
conclusionGreater symptom burden along with the use of negative cognitive emotion regulation and negative aspects of self-compassion were independently associated with diabetes distress. If these relations are explained by causal influence, these modifiable factors could be fruitful targets for intervention research.
