Psychometric properties and factor structure of the Diabetes Eating Problem Survey Revised in Danish adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

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
aimThe aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties and factor structure of the Danish translation of Diabetes Eating Problem Survey - Revised (DEPS-R) among adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
methodsA total of 131 adolescents (53% women) with T1D aged 11-19 years completed DEPS-R and Youth Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (YEDE-Q). Additional anthropometric, biochemical, and medical data were obtained from medical records. Exploratory Factor Analysis was performed to examine the factor structure of DEPS-R.
resultsThe DEPS-R demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach α = 0.87) and was significantly correlated with YEDE-Q (r = 0.83; p < 0.01), HbA1c (r = 0.35; p < 0.01), zBMI (r = 0.35; p < 0.01), and age (r = 0.20; p < 0.05), indicating high convergent validity. The median DEPS-R score was 10 [5-18] for the entire sample; however, it was significantly higher among women (15 [9-21]) than men (6 [4-10]). Factor analysis revealed a three-factor structure accounting for 58% of the variance and indicated that item 4 contributed less strongly to the overall score.
conclusionsThis study supports the validity of DEPS-R as a screening tool for detecting the risk of disordered eating in adolescents with T1D but challenges the relevance of item 4. Future research is needed on updating the original DEPS-R, including a sensitivity analysis of DEPS-R in detecting the risk of serious eating disorder-related behaviour in T1D.
