Quality of Life Among School-Age Children With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in SAGE open nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: Ensuring good health and well-being for children requires a high quality of life (QOL). Sustainable development has led to the elimination of many chronic and epidemic diseases. QOL is a multifaceted system encompassing several dimensions, including social, physical, and psychological functioning, which has emerged as a necessary outcome for children with chronic disorders. Objectives: This study aimed to understand QOL in Egyptian school-age children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). It examined sociocultural, economic, and healthcare issues faced by these children, revealing unique determinants such as family dynamics and community perceptions in Egypt, which differ from global data. Methods: A cross-sectional study was used at the Hospital of Health Insurance outpatient clinics in Banha, Egypt. A group of healthy peers was compared with another group from the outpatient clinic. 412 school children, ages 6 to 12 years, had T1DM, and 412 healthy peer groups with the same child age and gender, the researchers interviewed. Three tools were used: a demographic data sheet, a socioeconomic scale, and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 Generic Core Scale. Results: The mean age of children was 12.9 ± 3.2. More than 60% of diabetic children had uncontrolled blood glucose levels, and 60% had poor socioeconomic levels. Children with diabetes had a significantly lower QOL than healthy peers in all dimensions. For the duration of the disease, where emotional function from the QOL was only affected, males revealed significantly higher scores related to school functioning. Children with middle and high socioeconomic status showed a highly significant relationship to school, social, and total QOL. Conclusion: T1DM had a negative effect on all QOL domains of the school children. The researchers recommended establishing protocols integrated between children's homes, schools, and health insurance hospitals and clinics for providing comprehensive health education.
