Predictors of depression symptoms in patients with diabetes in Slovakia.
Review in International journal of psychiatry in medicine, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectiveThe patterns of relationships between diabetes and depression in countries of central and eastern Europe (CEE) might differ from those in countries of western Europe and the United States. Among the reasons are specifics of transitioning healthcare systems (including mental health) and the general social, cultural, and economic background of these countries. The aim of this article is to analyze the prevalence of depression symptoms in patients with diabetes in Slovakia and to identify its predictors.
methodDiabetes patients (N= 1043) from two diabetes outpatient-care offices were recruited for the study. The Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) was applied to screen for depression symptoms. Patients were categorized into four categories based on depression symptom severity. Demographic and disease-related factors were analyzed as predictors of depression symptoms.
resultsIn the univariate analysis, a number of factors were associated with increasing severity of depression symptoms. In the multivariate analysis, lower education (OR 0.52; Cl 95% 0.33-0.81), and high degree of self-perceived severity of illness (OR 5.33; CI 95% 2.47-12.12) were confirmed as independent predictors of depression symptoms in our patients.
conclusionsDemographic and psychological factors have an important role in developing depression symptoms in patients with diabetes in our population. Further studies into the topic are needed to gain further clues on this topic throughout the Central European region. The findings of this study should be considered by mental health service providers and public health authorities to raise awareness about this important issue.
