Positive affect predicts enhanced quality of life and glycemic outcomes in adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
Trial report in Annals of behavioral medicine : a publication of the Society of Behavioral Medicine, 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
backgroundAdolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) often face challenges with diabetes management and experience diabetes distress related to the burden of treatment. Positive affect, including feelings of enthusiasm, joy, and engagement, may play a role in improving health outcomes. PURPOSE: This study aimed to identify demographic and clinical factors associated with positive affect in adolescents with T1D and assess the impact of adolescents' positive affect on glycemic outcomes and quality of life over time.
methodsThe current study is a longitudinal analysis of data from a multisite randomized controlled trial. Adolescents' self-reported positive affect was analyzed in relation to demographic variables, clinical outcomes, and diabetes-related quality of life over a 12-month period.
resultsIn our sample of 196 adolescents with T1D, greater adolescent age was significantly associated with lower levels of positive affect. Importantly, positive affect was associated with lower HbA1c and higher quality of life over 12 months, after adjusting for baseline levels and demographic factors.
conclusionsThese findings suggest that positive affect may be a protective factor for adolescents with T1D, underscoring the potential for incorporating approaches that induce positive affect as a way to improve diabetes management.
