The Geriatric Depression Scale Predicts Glycemic Control in Older Adult with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Longitudinal Study.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. 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
The presence of comorbid depression and diabetes is associated with worse glycemic control, higher complication and greater mortality risk than expected by each condition alone. The association between various levels of severity of depressive symptoms and glycemic control over time among type 2 diabetic older patients was unclear. This study aimed to investigate a longitudinal association between depression and HbA1c among type 2 diabetic older patients. Type 2 diabetes patients aged 60 years and above with normal cognition were recruited from the outpatient department from 1 June 2020 to 1 July 2021. The Thai Geriatric Depression Scale (TGDS) and HbA1c were assessed at five time points (baseline and every 12 weeks) for 1 year. A linear mixed effect model was used. Of the 161 enrolled participants, 146 completed the study. At baseline, 14% were susceptible to depression or having depression (TGDS score 6 and above), and there was a significant correlation between HbA1c and depression (r = 0.26,
