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
backgroundMetabolic control is of critical importance in children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) for the stabilization of blood glucose levels and long-term health outcomes. Dietary choices play an important role in glucose control and the prevention of diabetes-related complications. This study aims to investigate the relationship between food addiction, eating attitudes, and psychiatric symptoms with metabolic control in adolescents diagnosed with T1DM.
methodsParticipants (N = 100) were assessed using the Yale Food Addiction Scale (Y-FAS), Eating Attitudes Test-40 (EAT-40), and Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) to evaluate food addiction, eating attitudes, and psychiatric symptoms. Metabolic parameters of adolescents with T1DM, such as body mass index (BMI), HbA1c levels, insulin dosage, duration of diabetes, and the incidence of ketoacidosis and hypoglycemia, were recorded.
resultsThe study found that 15% of adolescents had food addiction criteria, and 17% were prone to disordered eating behaviors. The presence of a history of hypoglycemia was related to a higher total symptom score on YFAS and higher total scores, depression, anxiety, somatization, and hostility subscale scores on BSI (p <.05 for all). BMI was positively correlated with anxiety about gaining weight on EAT-40 and higher total scores, depression, and anxiety subscale scores on BSI (p <.05 for all). As the BMI percentile group increased from normal to overweight/obesity, more food addiction symptoms were observed, and significant increases were found in depression, anxiety, negative self-perception, and somatization subscale scores, and the BSI total score (p <.05 for all).
conclusionsFindings suggest that adolescents with T1DM may have a higher susceptibility to food addiction and eating disorders compared to the rates reported in the general population. Hypoglycemia can be a metabolic risk factor for food addiction in adolescents with T1DM. Psychological problems such as depression, anxiety, and somatization in adolescents with T1DM are associated with poor metabolic control. Further studies are needed with larger and more diverse samples.
