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.

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.

Abstract

aims/hypothesisThe aims were to: (1) analyse the day-to-day mechanisms through which daily diabetes-specific negative emotional experiences (burdens) accumulate and potentially affect emotional well-being; and (2) identify the specific triggers of these dynamics in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

methodsData were derived from three prospective observational studies employing ecological momentary assessment for up to 17 days. Multilevel vector autoregression models were used to estimate within-person temporal networks of nine daily diabetes-specific burdens. Out-strength and in-strength indices quantified each variable's role as a trigger (i.e. influencing others) or receiver (i.e. being influenced by others). Individual network density was computed to characterise how strongly daily burdens predicted one another. Logistic regression models tested whether these dynamic features predicted questionnaire-assessed incidence and remission of elevated diabetes distress and depressive symptoms at follow-up.

resultsAmong 741 participants (50.1% with type 2 diabetes, 50.7% male, aged [mean ± SD] 50.4±14.2 years, HbA CONCLUSIONS/

interpretationThe results provide evidence of how daily diabetes-specific burdens can accumulate and potentially affect the course of emotional well-being. Feeling guilty regarding diabetes self-management may play a central role and represent an important clinical target as well as outcome.
