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

purpose of reviewDepression is prevalent and common among individuals living with diabetes. The aim of this review is to systematically assess and meta-analyze the treatment effect of cognitive-behavioral therapy for depression (and other affective outcomes) among patients with diabetes. RECENT

findingsEarlier investigations found both psychosocial and pharmacological interventions, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, were promising in managing depression in patients with diabetes, though these findings remain inclusive due to poor study designs and a small number of trials included, which calls for a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis. A total of 33 studies (89 effect sizes) reported a moderate and statistically significant treatment effect of cognitive-behavioral therapy for depressive symptoms among individuals with diabetes (d = 0.301, 95% CI 0.115-0.487, p < 0.001). On average, cognitive-behavioral therapy was effective for psychological stress/distress outcomes but not for anxiety or physiological outcomes. The findings of the study confirmed CBT as an effective treatment option for depression among diabetes patients and identified important areas for future research.
