Exploring Self-Management Among Adolescents With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Descriptive-Qualitative Study.
Article in Nursing open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
aimsTo understand the need for self-management among adolescents with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and provide a reference for developing tailored management programmes.
designDescriptive-qualitative.
methodsPurposive sampling was used to recruit 10 adolescents with T2DM from a paediatric and adolescent diabetes clinic at a tertiary hospital in Bangkok. Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted from January to March 2023, and the data were thematically analysed.
resultsFive key themes were coded: (1) understanding T2DM diagnoses; (2) seeking support for diabetes self-management (DSM); (3) self-managing T2DM; (4) understanding barriers to DSM; and (5) seeking T2DM telehealth.
conclusionAdolescents with T2DM mostly receive adequate DSM understanding from healthcare providers. However, although they are strongly willing to manage their condition, they face significant challenges (e.g., limited knowledge, stress, and social pressure). Support from family, healthcare providers, and peers is crucial in fostering effective DSM. Medical staff should provide personalised care based on each patient's status and needs, encouraging the development of self-managing behaviours while helping prevent complications. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Enhanced cultural sensitivity training can improve patient trust and plan adherence. IMPACT: Key insights are provided for healthcare providers regarding the early management of adolescents with T2DM and designing prevention programmes. Guidance for tailored interventions is provided, addressing adolescents' unique needs and focusing on improving their knowledge, emotional well-being, and support channels. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Guidance for tailored interventions is provided, addressing adolescents' unique needs and focusing on improving their knowledge, emotional well-being, and support channels.
