Illness Perceptions Mediate the Impact of Depressive Symptoms on Quality of Life Among Latinos with Type 2 Diabetes.
Article in Journal of immigrant and minority health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Latinos' type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and concurrent depression significantly lower quality of life (QoL). Patients' beliefs about their diabetes, called illness perceptions (IP), may account for the impact of depression on QoL. Using secondary data, we explored predictive and mediation relationships among IP, depression, and QoL among Mexican American adults with T2DM using hierarchical multiple regression and mediation analyses. Participants (n = 75) were predominately middle-aged, female, most scoring low on depressive-symptoms, who believed that diabetes was a chronic disease with serious consequences, controllable by treatment and personal self-management. Participants with higher acculturation and weak perceptions about negative consequences of diabetes reported better QoL. Depressive symptoms' impact on QoL were mediated by overall IP and perceptions about diabetes consequences, in particular. By eliciting patients' perceptions about disease consequences and teaching realistic ways to avoid them, clinicians may alleviate the impact of depression on QoL.
