Diabetes disclosure strategies in adolescents and young adult with type 1 diabetes.
Article in Patient education and counseling, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
objectiveAdolescence and young adulthood have social and developmental challenges that can impact type 1 diabetes (T1D) management. New relationships (e.g. friends, schoolmates, dating partners, teachers, employers) introduce opportunities for disclosure of T1D status. Characterizing how adolescents and young adults (AYAs) disclose having T1D to others may help inform clinical strategies to help AYAs ensure their safety by obtaining social support.
methodsAs part of a study about diabetes health-related quality of life across the lifespan, transcriptions of semi-structured qualitative interviews with AYAs with T1D (n = 16, age 12-25 years, mean age 18.7 ± 4.9, 38% female) were coded to derive themes related to T1D disclosure.
resultsParticipants described three disclosure strategies: (1) Open Disclosure: shares T1D status in straightforward, direct manner and readily requests diabetes-related support; (2) Disclosure Hesitancy: reluctant to tell others about or actively hides having T1D; (3) Passive Disclosure: discloses T1D via other people (e.g., parents) or through others' observation of T1D management tasks.
conclusionAYAs may benefit from guidance in approaches to informing others about having T1D in different contexts. Identifying individuals' use of these strategies can inform education and intervention strategies aimed at engaging AYAs in healthy T1D-related disclosure to seek and receive support.
