Evaluating the association of adolescent and caregiver grit with hemoglobin A1c in adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
Article in Journal of pediatric psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objective"Grit" is a personality construct defined as the tendency to work toward long-term goals and may influence chronic disease management behaviors in type 1 diabetes. We sought to determine whether adolescent and caregiver grit are associated with hemoglobin A1c in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. We also evaluated the relationship between adolescent and caregiver self-control, another construct already explored in type 1 diabetes, with hemoglobin A1c to determine whether similar patterns of association are observed.
methodsWe performed a single-center, cross-sectional study of 114 adolescents with type 1 diabetes and their primary diabetes caregiver. Patients were English-speaking, 13-15 years old, and had diabetes for ≥2 years. Using unadjusted and adjusted regression models, we examined the relationship between adolescent and caregiver grit and hemoglobin A1c. Unadjusted and adjusted effect estimates are also reported for adolescent and caregiver self-control with hemoglobin A1c.
resultsAfter confounding adjustment, higher adolescent grit was associated with a lower hemoglobin A1c (B = -0.5% [-0.8 to -0.2] or -5 mmol/mol [-9 to -2]). Caregiver grit was not associated with adolescent hemoglobin A1c. We observed similar associations between self-control and hemoglobin A1c.
conclusionsTo our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the relationship between grit and hemoglobin A1c among adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Adolescents with more grit had lower hemoglobin A1c values than those with less grit. These findings suggest that longitudinal studies to evaluate this association further are warranted. Trials testing the efficacy of behavioral interventions to augment grit and improve glycemic stability can then follow.
