Fear of hypoglycemia and its association with well-being, metabolic outcomes, and psychological health: A cross-sectional study in Danish adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
Article in PloS one, 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
introductionFear of hypoglycemia (FoH) among adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) may hinder optimal diabetes treatment. This study aimed to investigate the association between FoH and metabolic outcome and psychological health. MATERIALS AND
methodsAdolescents aged 11-18 with T1D and their parents were recruited from a diabetes clinic in Copenhagen from 2016-2017. Data were collected from 142 adolescents and 123 parents using Children's Hypoglycemia Index (CHI), the World Health Organization-Five Well-Being Index, the Adherence in Diabetes Questionnaire, and DISABKIDS (health-related quality of life). Associations between CHI scores and clinical, demographic, and psychological data were analyzed. Rasch modeling was used for psychometric validation of Danish version of CHI.
resultsHigher CHI scores were observed in females (p = 0.01). Adolescent and parental CHI scores were significantly correlated across CHI subscales (r = 0.20-0.33). With increasing CHI scores, we observed a decrease in well-being (p = 0.004), and health-related quality of life (p=<0.0001-0.007). No associations were found with HbA1c, treatment methods, blood glucose monitoring, diabetes duration, or adherence (p = 0.06). The Danish version of the CHI proved valid and useful for detecting FoH. We found an acceptable fit to the Rasch model across all three subscales.
conclusionThough not related directly to treatment outcome FoH might be an important indicator of psychological health in adolescents with T1D.
