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

backgroundA diagnosis of a chronic disease has been shown to predispose patients to the development of feeding and eating disorders (FEDs).

aimTo screen children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) for FEDs and compare them to their counterparts with short stature.

methodsA total of 110 children and adolescents (55 with T1DM and 55 with short stature) were enrolled in the study. The SCOFF questionnaire was used to screen for possible FEDs, while anthropometric and dietary data were also collected.

resultsApproximately 60% of the children with T1DM screened positive for FEDs compared to 30.9% of the children with short stature. Having a T1DM tripled the chances of screening positive for FEDs and halved the annual growth rate of children with T1DM. No differences were noted in the dietary intake between groups.

conclusionThe results necessitate the education of pediatric endocrinologists and diabetologists on proper screening and identification of children at risk for developing FEDs. A prompt diagnosis might help children catch up growth and attain their genetically predisposed height.
