Prevalence and risk factors of depression in middle-aged and elderly women with diabetes: a protocol of systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. 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
introductionDepression is a common and serious mental health issue in individuals with diabetes, especially among middle-aged and elderly women, leading to reduced treatment adherence, an overall decline in well-being and a significant reduction in quality of life. Although previous studies have investigated the prevalence and risk factors of depression in this population, the results have been inconsistent and lack consensus. The aim of this review is to determine the prevalence of depression and explore associated risk factors among middle-aged and elderly women with diabetes. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A comprehensive search will be performed in eight electronic databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform and Chinese Biomedicine Literature Database from their inception to 15 April 2025. Studies published in English and Chinese that report on the prevalence and risk factors of depression among middle-aged and elderly women with diabetes will be included. Two reviewers will independently screen studies for eligibility, extract data and evaluate the risk of bias. Any disagreements will be addressed by a third reviewer. The quality of the included studies will be assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tools. All statistical analyses will be conducted using Review Manager V.5.4. Heterogeneity will be assessed using the ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This review does not require ethical approval as it is based on previously published studies. Its findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations, providing evidence on the prevalence and risk factors of depression in middle-aged and elderly women with diabetes. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD420251014849.
