1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveA comprehensive picture of the data on the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is currently lacking. The purpose of this systematic review was to synthesize extant literature reporting on the effects of COVID-19 on psychological outcomes in individuals with T1D and to identify associated factors.

methodsA systematic search was conducted with PubMed, Scopus, PychInfo, PsycArticles, ProQuest, and WoS using a selection procedure according to the PRISMA methodology. Study quality was assessed using a modified Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. In all, 44 studies fulfilling the eligibility criteria were included.

resultsFindings suggest that during the COVID-19 pandemic, people with T1D had impaired mental health, with relatively high rates of symptoms of depression (11.5-60.7%, n = 13 studies), anxiety (7-27.5%, n = 16 studies), and distress (14-86.6%, n = 21 studies). Factors associated with psychological problems include female gender, lower income, poorer diabetes control, difficulties in diabetes self-care behaviors, and complications. Of the 44 studies, 22 were of low methodological quality.

conclusionsTaking appropriate measures to improve medical and psychological services is needed to support individuals with T1D in appropriately coping with the burden and difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and to prevent mental health problems from enduring, worsening, or having a long-term impact on physical health outcomes. Heterogeneity in measurement methods, lack of longitudinal data, the fact that most included studies did not aim to make a specific diagnosis of mental disorders limit the generalizability of the findings and have implications for practice.
