The impact of type 2 diabetes on adolescent and family functioning and healthcare use: findings from the National Survey of Children's Health.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Introduction: Type 2 diabetes is a complex chronic illness requiring significant support. The goal of this study is to better understand stressors associated with type 2 diabetes for adolescents and caregivers and their impact on family functioning and health status. Methods: Using the National Survey of Children's Health, this study examined differences in adolescent mental health, family and caregiver functioning, and medical service usage in pediatric type 2 diabetes, asthma, special healthcare needs, and adolescents without chronic illness. Results: Adolescents and families with type 2 diabetes demonstrated higher mental health concerns, poorer parental coping and family resilience, and higher use of emergency care than one or more of the comparison groups. Emergency care needs were also higher than expected for type 2 diabetes. Discussion: Adolescents with type 2 diabetes and their caregivers reported significant stressors and functioning concerns as compared to adolescents with and without another chronic illness. These families also required more intensive care needs, highlighting the need to support adolescent and family psychosocial functioning in the context of type 2 diabetes.
