School-based management of type 1 diabetes in the Republic of Ireland: a cross-sectional mixed-methods analysis.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundQualitative research regarding the experience of diabetes self-care management in schools is underrepresented in published literature. In addition, there are methodologic limitations in some of the existing studies.
aimsTo investigate experiences of school-based diabetes self-care management in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
methodsCross-sectional mixed-methods questionnaire survey. Sentiment analysis was undertaken of free-text responses by primary caregivers of young children and adolescents or adolescents themselves in relation to experiences regarding school-based support for self-care. Statements were rated on a 5-point Likert scale from strongly negative (1) to strongly positive (5). Responses were also grouped using thematic analysis. A quantitative analysis of the similarities and differences in responses between primary and secondary school students was undertaken.
resultsText responses for analysis were present in 273 (65%) primary and 226 (56%) secondary school questionnaires. Sentiment analysis yielded mean scores of 3.5 and 2.8 for primary and secondary students, respectively. Three major themes were identified in the statements, namely attitude, education/knowledge, and resources. Scores within each theme were significantly higher for primary compared to secondary students. Attitude scored highest and education/knowledge scored lowest in both groups. Comments in relation to resources were significantly more frequent in primary school questionnaires, and comments regarding education and knowledge were more commonplace in secondary school responses.
conclusionOur findings suggest that experiences regarding self-care management of type 1 diabetes are generally more positive among primary school students. Education and knowledge of school staff should be a particular area of focus in both cohorts.
