Psychological functioning of patients with type I diabetes: the relevant role of alexithymia and intolerance to uncertainty.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) represents a serious condition with high prevalence and increasing incidence. Phenomena such as alexithymia, intolerance to uncertainty and psychopathology are recognized as generally affecting individuals' health status and contributing to the worsening of T1DM. The present study aimed to study the relationships between these variables and differences relative to age and gender of T1DM patients. Methods: A sample of 150 participants aged between 11 and 18 years old with T1DM was recruited. All participants completed the diagnostic protocol, consisting of a sociodemographic questionnaire, Toronto Alexithymia Scale, Intolerance to Uncertainty Scale and Self Administrated Psychiatric Scales for Children and Adolescents (different psychopathological domains). Descriptive, correlational, regression and differential analyses were conducted. Results: Alexithymia and intolerance to uncertainty predicted psychopathology and significant differences were found among age and gender groups. Discussion: Despite this, more studies are necessary to improve knowledge in the field of psychological functioning in T1DM. Further research to deepen understanding of how alexithymia and intolerance of uncertainty influence psychological functioning in T1DM are indicated.
