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

backgroundIndividuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are at increased risk of developing disordered eating (DE) and eating disorders (ED). Diabetes self-management focuses on food and insulin administration, which may contribute to development of EDs. The dual diagnosis may contribute to suboptimal glycemia, early diabetes-related complications and mortality. Evidence for ED prevention programs for this high-risk population remains limited. This systematic review aims to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of available interventions to prevent EDs and improve glycemia in people with T1D.

methodsA literature search of PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL and Web of Science was conducted on 25 January 2025. Studies using randomized controlled, quasi-experimental or cohort design that targeted ED prevention in T1D population were included.

resultsNine studies met the inclusion criteria, featuring interventions such as cognitive dissonance based programs, psychoeducation and self-compassion programs. Cognitive dissonance based programs demonstrated the most consistent reduction in ED risks and symptoms. However, most studies showed negligible improvement in glycemia. Common limitations were small sample sizes, high drop-out rates and short follow-ups.

conclusionFuture research should focus on well-powered RCTs to evaluate interventions over longer timeframes, younger age groups, both genders, carer involvement and additional modifications to improve glycemia concurrently.
