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
objectivesOur aim was to evaluate self-reported depressive symptoms and clinical outcomes during routine screening for adolescents and young adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D), and examine associations among depressive symptoms and demographic and clinical characteristics.
methodsThe Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ) was administered to 197 adolescents and young adults with T2D using the PHQ-2 or PHQ-9 in routine pediatric diabetes care at 4 academic medical centres. Data from electronic health records were extracted from the screening date and 12 months earlier.
resultsAdolescents and young adults with T2D (mean age, 16.85 years; 57% male; 77.2% non-Caucasian) completed the PHQ as part of routine diabetes care. On the PHQ, 19.3% of adolescents and young adults endorsed elevated depressive symptoms (PHQ score ≥10) and, among a subsample with item-level data (n=53), 18.9% endorsed thoughts of self-harm. Subsequently, 50.0% of those with depressive symptoms had a documented referral for mental health treatment in the electronic health record after the positive screening outcome. Older age, shorter diabetes duration, higher glycated hemoglobin level, being non-Hispanic white, more blood glucose checks per day and being prescribed oral medications were significantly associated with more depressive symptoms.
conclusionsScreening for depressive symptoms identifies individuals in need of referral for mental health treatment. A focus on self-harm assessment, standardized methods for documentation of symptoms and mental health referrals and increased referral resources are needed.
