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

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is associated with an increased risk of mental illness. In recent years, specialized summer camps for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes have emerged, aimed at normalizing life with diabetes and building skills needed for optimal management of the condition. This project analyzed the effects of one such camp, Camp Sweeney, on glycemic control, physical health, and psychosocial wellbeing of camp attendees (children 5-17, mean age 14.4 years old) and their parents/caregivers. The standard Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) was modified by the addition of questions pertaining to self-assessment of diabetes management, and questionnaires were distributed to parents and campers to complete at the start of and 2 months after completion of the camp. A total of 14 completed surveys (7 child/camper-parent/caregiver pairs) were collected and analyzed. Self-reported glycemic control (DM management), perceived overall quality of life (wellness), physical wellness, and psychosocial wellness improved after attendance of Camp Sweeney as reported by both campers/children (
