Depression and Medication Beliefs in African Americans with Diabetes.
Article in Community mental health journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Medication non-adherence impacts health significantly in African Americans with diabetes. We performed a retrospective data analysis on 56 patients who presented to the emergency departments of two hospitals in Philadelphia, PA, USA. Demographic data, medical history, and point-of-care hemoglobin A1c were collected at baseline. Using Spearman rank correlations, we examined whether depressive symptoms measured with the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) were associated with diabetes health beliefs, which were assessed with the Diabetes Health Belief Scale (DHBS). PHQ-9 scores were significantly correlated with DHBS's Perceived Side Effects scores [r(56) = 0.474, p < 0.01] and Perceived Barriers scores [r(56) = 0.337, p < 0.05]. These findings suggest that negative health beliefs may play a role in the relationship between depression and low medication adherence. Treatment of diabetes in middle-aged and older African American individuals should address both depression and negative health beliefs on side effects and perceived barriers.
