Exploring healthcare professionals' attitudes to screening for disordered eating in type 1 diabetes.

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
aimsEating disorders and disordered eating behaviours are prevalent among adults with type 1 diabetes, making early identification essential for improving health outcomes. Although screening tools exist to detect disordered eating in type 1 diabetes (T1DE), their application in clinical practice remains limited. This study investigates healthcare professionals' perspectives and attitudes towards screening for disordered eating in adult diabetes services. METHODOLOGY: This qualitative study employed semi-structured interviews with 13 healthcare professionals from adult diabetes services. Purposive sampling was used to ensure a broad range of healthcare professional viewpoints. The interviews centred on their perceptions of screening for disordered eating in type 1 diabetes.
resultsReflexive thematic analysis was used to identify four themes: (1) Uncertainty and Inevitabiltiy of T1DE: 'A bit of a black hole', (2) Asking about T1DE: 'My fear is…am I overstepping the line', (3) Patient-provider relationships: 'A backward step', and (4) Lack of support for T1DE: 'Where do you go?'. While healthcare professionals recognised the link between diabetes management and disordered eating, they lacked confidence in screening for these challenges due to limited time and the scarcity of specialist disordered eating resources for type 1 diabetes.
conclusionThis study highlights the challenges healthcare professionals face in screening for disordered eating in type 1 diabetes. By highlighting the need for enhanced training and clear clinical guidelines, this research suggests pathways to improve healthcare professional confidence in addressing these critical conversations with patients, ultimately supporting better health outcomes.
