Retrospective Rates of Positive Depression Screens in Pediatric Diabetes Using Two PHQ-9 Cutoff Scores: A Brief Report.
Article in Clinical practice in pediatric psychology, 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
Objective: Compare two empirically supported cutoff scores for the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) in a clinical sample of youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Methods: The sample comprises 212 youth with T1D aged 12-18. We retroactively collected PHQ-9 scores from electronic health records. We compared the normative cutoff score of 10 on the PHQ-9 to a newly modified score of 5. Results: Using the cutoff score of 5 on the PHQ-9, 44.3% of patients screened positive for symptoms of depression, while 22.6% of patients screened positive for symptoms of depression using the cutoff score of 10. Conclusions: The modified cutoff score of 5 on the PHQ-9 resulted in twice as many patients screening positive for symptoms of depression as the normative cutoff score of 10. However, it is important to consider these findings in the context of the healthcare system and the overall impact of false positives.
