Automated insulin delivery in war refugee children with type 1 diabetes: a 3-year follow-up.
Observational study in Frontiers in endocrinology, 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: Following the war in Ukraine, Europe received a large influx of war refugees, including children with type 1 diabetes (CwD). The aim of this study was to describe their diabetes control during the first three years. Research design and methods: A total of 143 (70 M, 73 F) CwD were recruited into this longitudinal observational study between March 2022 and June 2025 at 9 tertiary pediatric diabetes centers. The following data were collected yearly: treatment type, CGM use, anthropometrics, HbA1c, and CGM metrics. Statistical inference was performed using linear mixed models adjusting for age, sex, age at T1D onset, and therapy type. Additionally, the participants were compared to matched controls from a nationwide pediatric diabetes registry. Results: The median HbA1c decreased significantly from 58.0 mmol/mol, 7.5% (IQR 49.0-73.0, 6.6-8.8%) to 52 mmol/mol, 6.9% (IQR 48-64 mmol/mol, 6.5-8.0%) over 3 years (P<0.001). We observed a significant increase in CGM use (46.4% to 95.5%) and insulin pump use, from 8.0% (no AID systems) to 63.6% (only AID systems) (both P<0.001). The trend in HbA1c decline depended on the therapy type, the estimated effect of AID initiation was -5.39 mmol/mol (95% CI -10.12 to -0.65 mmol/mol) (P = 0.003). The mean time in range (TIR) of CwD who initiated AID was not significantly different from that of matched non-migrant controls (73.4% vs. 71.0%, P = 0.420), while those using insulin pens had a lower TIR than controls (51.8% vs. 62.9%, P = 0.003). Conclusions: We observed a significant improvement in T1D control among refugee CwD, emphasizing the role of AID, regardless of socioeconomic background.
