Exploring diabetes-related stigma in adolescence: A critical review.
Review in African journal of primary health care & family medicine, 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
backgroundStigma experiences challenge Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) adolescents. Such an impact causes complications in their self-management behaviour and identity formation.
aimTo critically synthesise, analyse, interpret and reflect on research regarding the experiences of T1DM adolescents and stigma through identifying the types of stigma experienced and the impact they have on T1DM adolescents.
methodThree scholarly databases were used to identify scientific data, which was subjected to a screening process using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method of extraction and analysis. One hundred and nine articles were scanned, yet 14 eligible articles were included in the review. Using thematic analysis, the experiences of T1DM adolescents and stigma were consolidated, improving our understanding of the interactive nature of stigma.
resultsT1DM adolescents experience social, enacted, internal and self-stigma. These experiences result in suboptimal T1DM self-management and the non-disclosure of a T1DM diagnosis. Negative effects associated with stigma experiences are linked to challenges in T1DM identity integration and decreased wellness. A diagram was developed to explain the continuous interactive nature of stigma.
conclusionStigma experiences may have a negative impact on adolescents in the absence of support structures and appraisal strategies.Contribution: Within a primary care setting, practitioners are empowered to comprehend the stigmas experienced by T1DM adolescents. Through this knowledge, adolescents may be educated to cope with such experiences without compromising their T1DM self-management or their psychosocial development. Academically, the model can assist future researchers in understanding the relationships that exist between stigmas while informing opportunities for interventions in curbing the effects of stigma.
