An Exploration of the Relationship Between Diabetes and Depression Among Immigrants in the United States.
Article in Journal of immigrant and minority health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Research on health outcomes, especially about chronic conditions, among immigrants is necessary to meet the health care needs of this growing population. This study examines the relationship between diabetes and depression among immigrants using the 2006-2015 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). We find a correlation between having diabetes and depression among foreign-born individuals. Being a woman, poor, and from specific regions in Latin America are associated with a higher odds of comorbid diabetes and depression. Out of the individuals with both diabetes and depression, the burden of both conditions seems to be concentrated among foreign-born individuals from Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. We find a correlation between having diabetes and depression among foreign-born individuals, similar to that found in U.S.-born populations. Both of these conditions contribute to the burden of disease in the U.S, and we question whether patterns of both diseases (co-morbidities) are evenly or unevenly distributed in the immigrant population.
