Type D personality, social support and depression in patients with diabetes: a structural equation model.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2026. 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
Objective: To investigate the current status of depression among patients with diabetes and the influencing factors, and to analyze the relationship between Type D personality, social support and depression. Methods: This study is a multi-center cross-sectional study. Using the cluster random sampling method, 1000 patients with diabetes were randomly selected from 6 tertiary hospitals in Shenyang from June to August 2024. Data was collected using a questionnaire consisting of the Type D Personality Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale, and Self-rating Depression Scale. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 24.0. χ Results: The ROC curve analysis indicated that the predictive performance of the logistic regression model was marginally superior to that of the decision tree model. Structural equation modeling demonstrated a significant negative association between social support and type D personality ( Conclusion: The prevalence of depression is higher in patients with diabetes, and type D personality in patients with diabetes increases their risk of developing depression, while social support plays a crucial role in maintaining and regulating mental health, which may reduce the risk of depression. Patients with diabetes who have a type D personality tendency may mediate the development of depression through their perception of social support. Therefore, interventions should aim to strengthen social support for these patients, improve their ability to utilize it, mitigate type D personality traits, and ultimately enhance their mental health.
