Factors Associated with Suicidal Ideation and Quality of Life in Adolescents from Puerto Rico with Type 1 Diabetes.
Article in Puerto Rico health sciences journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivePeople with type 1 diabetes (T1D) may experience significant changes in their daily routines due to this condition, which frequently results in depressive symptoms and the deterioration of their quality of life. We examined the factors associated with suicidal ideation (SI) and diabetes-related quality of life (DRQOL) in adolescents (aged 12 to 17) with T1D.
methodsThe sample consisted of 51 youths (29 girls) recruited during a treatment study for depression. They completed the Diabetes Quality of Life for Youth questionnaire, the Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire Junior, and other measures that explore emotional, cognitive, somatic, behavioral, and relational aspects. Their caregivers completed the Barriers to Adherence Questionnaire and the Somatic Complaints subscale of the Child Behavior Checklist, among other measures. We used correlation and multiple linear regression analyses to identify the factors associated with the dependent variables.
resultsThe variables associated with SI were depression, somatic complaints, perceived family emotional support, self care for diabetes, self-deprecation, helplessness, and hopelessness, among others. In a multiple regression analysis, the first 3 accounted for 46% of the variance. Those related to DRQOL included cognitive alterations, barriers to adherence, perceived family emotional support, self-efficacy for diabetes and for depression, helplessness, anxiety, and self-deprecation, among others. The first 4 accounted for 61% of the variance.
conclusionOur findings highlight the impact of emotional, cognitive, somatic, behavioral, and relational aspects on the quality of mental health and the DRQOL of youth with T1D, as well as their pertinence for the development of psychosocial interventions for this population.
