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 aim of this study was to explore the frequency and distribution of depression in Barbadian adults with type 2 diabetes.

methodsAdults aged 20-80 years with type 2 diabetes, completed a cross-sectional survey comprised of, a profile section, and the standardized questionnaire; the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Additionally, biological (HbA1c and blood pressure) measurements were collected.

resultsFor the 509 participants, 65.4%, 1.4%, 22% and 8% showed minimal, moderately severe to severe; mild and moderate depression respectively. Female participants ranked higher in depression than males. Persons who reported having never been married were identified as having the greatest prevalence of mild and severe depression. There was a small positive correlation between glycemic control and depression.

conclusionsThe results suggest that the presence of this affective disorder may be under-recognized in Barbadian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Management protocol could incorporate the screening for depression.
