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

objectiveEating disorders are prevalent among adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D). We examined the clinical utility of the Diabetes Eating Problem Survey-Revised (DEPS-R), a brief self-report questionnaire developed for patients with T1D, to identify at-risk adolescents. We aimed to determine whether a positive DEPS-R screen was predictive of a formal diagnosis of an eating disorder as per the DSM-V. In addition, we assessed whether other variables including psychosocial characteristics and diabetes conflict were associated with an abnormal DEPS-R screen.

methodsCross-sectional study of 116 T1D adolescents aged 12-17 years. All participants completed the DEPS-R screening; both participants and parents completed a questionnaire addressing psychosocial characteristics/conflict around diabetes management. Clinical variables were obtained from participant charts. Differences were examined between positive and negative DEPS-R groups. Adolescents who screened positive were offered a referral to a specialized eating disorder team for further assessment.

resultsFrom 116 participants (mean age ± SD = 14.6 years ± 1.56), 21% (24/116) scored positive for DEPS-R More females than males had abnormal DEPS-R (75% vs 25%,

conclusionThe DEPS-R score is a useful clinical tool for identifying T1D adolescents at risk for disordered eating behaviour, but has a low positive predictive value (PPV) for identifying adolescents who meet diagnostic criteria for an eating disorder. Female gender, suboptimal diabetes control and increased conflict in diabetes management are associated with an abnormal DEPS-R score.
