Diabetes-related distress and psychological burden in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes - the role of child maltreatment, personality functioning, and epistemic trust: findings from a German clinical inpatient sample.

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: Patients with diabetes exhibit high frequencies of psychological burden and diabetes-related distress. Child maltreatment has been independently linked to both diabetes and psychological burden. We aimed 1) to explore the association between child maltreatment and diabetes-related distress, and between child maltreatment and psychological burden, and 2) to investigate the mediating role of personality functioning (psychological abilities with regard to the self and others) in this association. We included epistemic trust (openness for social learning) and its impairments mistrust (the tendency to consider information sources as unreliable or ill-intended) and credulity (lack of vigilance and discrimination between trustworthy and untrustworthy information) as covariates. Methods: In a sample of n=119 patients with type 1 or 2 diabetes aged 18-69, self-report questionnaires assessed diabetes-related distress (PAID-5), psychological burden (PHQ-D, PHQ-9, PHQ-15), child maltreatment (CTQ), personality functioning (OPD-SQS), and epistemic trust, mistrust, and credulity (ETMCQ). Mediation analyses assessed the role of personality functioning in the association between child maltreatment, diabetes-related distress, and psychological burden, including epistemic trust, mistrust, and credulity as covariates. Results: Patients with child maltreatment compared to those without showed higher diabetes-related distress ( Conclusions: In a clinical diabetes sample, diabetes-related distress and psychological burden are frequently reported, and personality functioning is impaired, particularly after child maltreatment. Addressing these impairments and initiating psychosomatic treatment including psychodynamic or mentalization-based interventions might offer new clinical treatment avenues.
