Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Diabetes is one of the most common chronic disease in the world and its prevalence in India is rising day by day. Diabetic patients often suffer from depression and anxiety which has a negative impact on patients resulting in non-adherence to medication, rapid disease progression and overall poor prognosis. India is the land of diversity and so are the causes of depression and anxiety in the people from different parts of the country. The study done in the current population has revealed certain indicators of both depression and anxiety that were not significant in previous studies. These new findings point towards the changing scenario and the need for more precise steps for improving the quality of life of diabetics. Aims: The study aims to determine the prevalence of depressive symptoms and anxiety among diabetic patients and the factors associated with them. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted with 305 participants among which 152 were diabetic while 153 were non diabetic patients. Depression and anxiety of the patients was measured through PHQ-9 scale and GAD-7 scale respectively. Factors associated with prevalence of depression and anxiety in the diabetic population was analysed. Results: The prevalence of depressive symptoms (39.5% versus 12.4%) and anxiety (36.2% versus 14.4%) were significantly higher in diabetic patients as compared to non-diabetic participants. Low-income, urban residence, unmarried status, insulin therapy, presence of retinopathy, and ischemic heart disease were significantly associated with depression among diabetic group of patients. Similarly the major predictors of anxiety were marital status, literacy and diabetic complications like neuropathy, retinopathy and ischemic heart disease. Conclusion: Our study shows depression and anxiety are highly prevalent among diabetic patients. All diabetic patients while seeking clinical contact should be screened for depression and anxiety especially those patients with predisposing risk factors.
