Serious Psychological Distress and Diabetes Management among American Indians and Alaska Natives.
Article in Ethnicity & disease, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveOur study examined associations between serious psychological distress and blood glucose level (HbA1c) and body mass index (BMI) among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) participants in a cardiovascular disease prevention program.
designUsing linear regression, we assessed the relationships between serious psychological distress and HbA1c and BMI at baseline and one year later. SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, AND
interventionAI/AN participants were aged 18 years, diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and enrolled in the Special Diabetes Project for Indians Healthy Heart Project.
main outcome measuresOutcomes were percentage of HbA1c and BMI, measured at enrollment and first annual exam. Both outcomes were continuous measures in all analyses.
resultsSerious psychological distress was associated at baseline with increased HbA1c in the unadjusted and adjusted models (adjusted b = .17%, P < 0.01). Serious psychological distress also was associated at baseline with increased BMI (.635 kg/m2, P = .01) and at one year with increased BMI (0.174 kg/m2, P = .01) in the unadjusted model. After adjustment for demographic and health characteristics, these relationships were no longer significant.
conclusionsCross-sectional baseline findings are consistent with existing literature. One-year findings suggest need for further inquiry into mediators of psychological distress and examination of additional diabetes-specific health outcomes. Additional years of observation may be needed to disentangle relationships between serious psychological distress and BMI.
