Prevalence of depression in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Irish primary care and the impact of depression on the control of diabetes.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAs the Irish population ages, the management of chronic conditions in primary care is emerging as a challenge. The presence of co-morbid depression is common among such patients and may affect their response to treatment.
aimsThis study sought to determine whether the prevalence of depression is higher in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus than in the population aged >50 in the West of Ireland, and whether depression is an independent predictor of diabetes control.
methodsWe used a cross-sectional design to examine an anonymized database of 9,698 patients aged >50 years whose medical data were collected as part of NUI Galway's CLARITY study. Glycosylated HbA1c levels were used to estimate type 2 DM control; depression was assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.
resultsWe found that while there is a higher prevalence of severe depression in patients with type 2 DM, there is no association between their diabetes control and depression after controlling for age, gender, comorbidity and GMS status. Multimorbidity is a significant predictor of depression in both diabetic and non-diabetic populations, with the odds of depression increasing as the number of co-morbidities increased.
conclusionsPatients with type 2 DM are more likely to suffer from severe depression than those without. Depression itself is not an independent predictor of diabetes control. However, it may be that the increased rates of depression observed in patients with type 2 DM are at least partially attributable to the burden of additional illnesses seen in these patients.
