1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundDifferentiation of self is a family systems construct defined as the ability to balance intimacy and autonomy and to separate instinctually driven emotional reactions and thoughtfully considered goal-directed functioning. In theory, low differentiation of self is reflected by four components: a low tendency to take an I-position in relationships (i.e., to own one's thoughts and feelings); emotional cutoff from others; a greater tendency to fuse with others; and a tendency towards emotional reactivity. Low differentiation of self is associated with anxiety and depression, which are risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus. The current study examines the relationship between differentiation of self and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

methodIndividuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (N = 107) and healthy individuals (N = 145) completed the Differentiation of Self Inventory-Revised (DSI-R), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II).

resultsCompared with healthy individuals, participants with type 2 diabetes had more severe depressive symptoms, higher levels of emotional cutoff, and a lower tendency to take an I-position, but had similar levels of trait anxiety, emotional reactivity, and fusion with others (factor analysis revealed these factors were not separable in the current sample and thus were merged into a single construct). Importantly, the severity of depressive symptoms mediated the relationship between emotional cutoff and being in the type 2 diabetes study group rather than the healthy group.

conclusionThese findings suggest a new perspective on the role of psychological patterns in type 2 diabetes mellitus development and progression.
