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
backgroundType 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is the most common endocrine and metabolic disorder in children. On the other hand, little is known regarding the health of parents whose children suffer from T1DM.
aimThe study aims to investigate the mental resilience and physical health of parents of children with type 1 diabetes.
methodsThe sample consisted of 80 parents of children and adolescents with T1DM.The study was conducted with the contribution of associations of parents of children with type 1 diabetes in a large hospital in Northern Greece between April 2021 and September 2021. A demographic and clinical questionnaire, the Wagnild and Young Resilience Scale-14 (RS-14), and the General Health 28 Physical Health Measurement Questionnaire (GHQ-28) were used to collect the research data.
resultsOf the parents, 18.8% were male while 65% were female. The mean age of the parents was 44.02±6.71 years while the age of their children with diabetes was 13.13±6.05 years. Almost half of the children followed intensive insulin treatment (47.5%) whereas 22,5% reported that their children received insulin via a pump. A higher percentage of parents reported measuring their children's blood sugar more than six times a day (46,3%) and having their glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels checked four times a year (51.2%). Finally, statistically significant effects on the physical symptoms and severe depression of parents of children with type 1 diabetes were observed.
conclusionsAdditional research is needed to assess the Greek parent population's resilience and physical health. This study will help healthcare providers to expand their knowledge and meet parents' needs.
