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
Introduction: The impact of caregiver anxiety on management of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is not well understood. This study examined the association between caregiver anxiety, glycemic control, and anxiety symptoms in youth with T1D. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 200 dyads of youth aged 11-17 years, with T1D duration >1 year and their primary caregivers. Caregiver anxiety was assessed by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and youth anxiety by the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED). Multiple logistic regression examined associations between STAI quartiles and glycemic control defined as HbA1c ≤ 7.5%. Results: Youth with caregivers in the lowest quartile of state anxiety had lower odds of HbA1c ≤ 7.5% compared to the middle 50% [adjusted odds ratio = 0.35; 95% CI (0.14-0.84), Conclusions: Low caregiver state anxiety was associated with worse glycemic control in youth with T1D, a counterintuitive finding that may reflect differences in caregiver involvement. Anxiety symptoms were highly prevalent among youth in this cohort. These findings highlight the complex interplay between caregiver anxiety, youth anxiety and glycemic control, and support the importance of psychological screening, and family-centered approaches in routine diabetes care.
