Effects of Electroconvulsive Therapy on Glycemic Control in Type 1 Diabetes.
Article in Cureus, 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
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a treatment modality for refractory depression and other severe psychiatric diseases. Depression is a common comorbid condition of diabetes. Yet, evidence regarding the effect of ECT on glycemic control in patients with diabetes is limited and conflicting, with reports of both exacerbation and amelioration of hyperglycemia. A 52-year-old Caucasian man with a history of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) was admitted for ECT therapy in the setting of worsening depression refractory to medical treatment. Pre-admission glycemic control was poor. He had significant glycemic variability during his hospitalization with hyper- and hypoglycemia. He required near-daily adjustment of insulin doses and distinct "ECT day" and "non-ECT day" insulin regimens. By the conclusion of his ECT course, in addition to achieving favorable psychiatric recovery, he had a marked improvement in glycemic control. This suggests that the treatment of depression may have beneficial effects on improving glycemic control in patients with T1DM.
