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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to measure the association between peripheral neuropathy symptoms and depressive symptoms among a sample of patients with and without diabetes mellitus (DM).

methodsPatients were administered the 15-item Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI) and the patient health questionnaire depression scale (PHQ-8). Patients with an MNSI score ≥ 4 were categorized as having PN and patients with a PHQ-8 score ≥ 10 were considered to have current depression. Log-binomial regression was used to analyze the relationship between PN and depressive symptoms.

results406 patients were included in the final analysis. There were no statistically significant differences by diabetes status in PN symptoms (Diabetes = 61.8%; No diabetes = 55.4%; p = .20) or in depression status (Diabetes = 37.6%; No diabetes = 36.6%; p =  .83). After adjustment for covariates, PN was associated with depression (aRR = 4.46; 95% CI 2.91,6.85) independent of diabetes status.

conclusionsPN symptoms may be common among aging persons even in the absence of DM. Past literature and our study demonstrate that PN and depression are closely associated. More work is needed to understand the etiology and potential utility of intervention for depression symptoms among patients with neuropathy.
