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
aimDiabetes camps for children and adolescents living with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) offer an important opportunity to foster self-efficacy and 'common humanity', a sense that they are not alone in their challenges. The current study primarily aimed to assess whether psychological wellbeing, diabetes self care behaviours and HbA1c improved amongst campers and their caregivers, and whether these would be sustained at 3- and 6-months.
methodsChildren and adolescents aged 7-13 years who attended the 2023 diabetes camp in Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand and one of their caregivers were invited to participate. Campers and caregivers were assessed at camp enrolment and then at 1-week, 3-months and 6-months post-camp. Guided by the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability, optional qualitative interviews were also used to explore campers' experiences of camp.
resultsOf the 31 children and adolescents who attended the 2023 camp, 27 (87%) participated in the study with a caregiver. Campers showed reduced feelings of isolation (p = 0.036) and overidentification (p = 0.036) 6 months. Caregivers demonstrated overall improvements in self-efficacy (p = 0.034), caregiver distress and burden (p = 0.006) and caregiver quality of life (p = 0.039). Qualitative findings confirmed high acceptability, with participants reporting positive camp experiences.
conclusionsDiabetes camps can improve caregivers' self-efficacy, diabetes distress and quality of life, and reduce feelings of isolation and overidentification among campers. Future work is needed to promote cultural inclusivity within camps and improve their accessibility, to be able to optimise the wellbeing of all children and adolescents living with T1D and their families.
