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

introductionWith the COVID-19 pandemic driving people into social isolation, causing a financial crisis and creating uncertainty, individuals were at an even greater risk of experiencing negative mental health outcomes. Individuals who identify as women living with diabetes mellitus (DM) of low socioeconomic status (SES) are potentially at increased risk of negative mental health outcomes secondary to health-related risks of COVID-19, as well as financial barriers to access to medications and diabetes-care supplies.

objectiveThe objective of this scoping review is to investigate how the COVID-19 pandemic affected the mental health of those who identify as women living with DM of low SES including the consequences of public health measures put in place to stop the spread of the virus. The review aims to identify what is known about the impact of COVID-19 on this and identify potential areas for further investigation. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The scoping review protocol was developed with guidance from the framework created by Arksey and O'Malley and refinements from the Joanna Briggs Institute and Levac ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: As this is a scoping review, there are no ethical approval requirements. There is to be a full publication of findings and analysis in a peer-reviewed journal.
