1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionFindings of recent research highlight the rapid increase in the national and global prevalence of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) in children and adolescents-with thousands of newly diagnosed cases in people under 15 years of age. Setting as a constant priority the protection and promotion of their safety and health, but also the strengthening of their academic performance, the effective management of children and adolescents with diabetes Type 1(T1D) in the school area by teachers and health workers, such as the school nurses (SN), deemed necessary. PURPOSE: Given the increased incidence of type 1 diabetes in school-age children and, at the same time, identifying the gap found in the Greek literature regarding the management of this metabolic disease in the school setting, this paper attempts to investigate the views of diabetes on the management of suffering students with DD1 in the school context, but also the consolidation of the Institution of School Nursing (SNI) in every type and level of school structure. MATERIAL AND

methodFor the purposes of the research, a qualitative study was conducted with the participation of seventeen (17) school Nurses in schools in Attica with direct and daily contact with diabetic students. The semi-structured interviews carried out allowed the respondents' voices to be heard and to outline-through a set of general questions, but also knowledge, opinion, and experience-related questions-their lived and challenging experiences within the school environment.

resultsThrough the narratives of the social subjects regarding the management of children with T1D, the following emerged: The Concept and Dimensions of School Nursing (goals, qualifications, role/responsibilities of T1D) and Management of T1D in the school environment (reinforcement and support of teachers and diabetic students respectively).

conclusionsThe findings of the research highlight the role and necessity of the presence of SN in the school. At the same time, this work is expected to be a useful tool in the hands of those responsible for the planning and development of targeted actions and effective management strategies for students with T1D during their school life.
