Contextualizing risk, pathways, and solutions for the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and type 2 diabetes among inner-city African Americans: A qualitative analysis and development of a theoretical framework.

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
purposeAdverse childhood experiences (ACEs) confer significant risk for diabetes in adulthood. The purpose of this study was to explore perceptions about risk, potential pathways leading to diabetes, and solutions based on the lived experience.
methodsThree focus groups were conducted. A semi-structured interview guide was used to explore prevalence and causes of ACEs, pathways to diabetes, and possible solutions. Grounded theory was used for analysis. Constant comparisons resulted in emergent themes that were indexed and compared with the rest of the data to establish analytical categories. Analytical categories were further refined as additional data was collected until groups of key themes or categories were identified and used to construct a theoretical framework.
resultsParticipants totaled 23 across 3 groups. All participants were African American. Average age was 49, average number of years living with diabetes was 13 years. Participants included both men and women. Participants experienced one or more occasions of sexual abuse, physical and verbal abuse, and neglect. The major themes can be classified as A. Cause, B. Pathway, and C. Treatment/solution. LIMITATIONS: Findings may not generalize to the overall population with ACEs and diabetes.
conclusionsThree major themes were identified: family instability and financial hardship as risks for ACEs, maladaptive coping leading to diabetes, and social structure as a potential solution. Future research is needed to examine quantitatively, pathways to inform prevention at the primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of care for both the prevention of ACEs, mitigating risk for diabetes, and improving overall health.
