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

Introduction: Little is known about the psychosocial experiences and care needs of young children under the age of 7 years who have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. To address this knowledge gap, we examine children's psychosocial care needs through the lens of child-centred care and the framework of Zone of Proximal Development. Objectives: To explore current care practices for young children with diabetes and identify aspects of child-centred care already successfully integrated into current practice. Method: Individual face-to-face, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 Healthcare Professionals, representing 11 of 17 paediatric diabetes clinics in Denmark. Results: Our data provided valuable insights into existing child-centred practices. Our analysis identified practices covering four main themes: 1. Accommodating immediate emotional needs, 2. Putting children before diabetes, 3. Encouraging meaningful participation, 4. Playful communication. Discussion: Healthcare Professionals provided child-centred care, largely through play-based approaches that make diabetes care meaningful and relevant. Such practices provide the scaffolding necessary to enable young children to gradually engage, comprehend and participate in their own care.
