Article in Health science reports, 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
Background and Aims: Depression is a persistent mental illness that affects more than 5% of individuals worldwide. The co-occurrence of depression in individuals with diabetes may be linked to worse treatment. There is evidence to support a bidirectional relationship between diabetes and depression, in which diabetes elevates the risk of depression later in life and depression increases the risk of diabetes earlier in life. Depression increases the chance of acquiring diabetes-related complications, apart from being a risk factor for diabetes itself. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of depression and associated factors among adult diabetic men on follow-up at Robe and Goba hospitals. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March 1 to April 30, 2022, involving 420 adult diabetic men. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 was used to screen for depression. Data were entered using Epidata version 4.6 and analyzed using SPSS version 26. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis were used to identify associations between depression and independent variables. Results: The prevalence of depression was 65 (15.5%) [95% CI: 12.1-19.5]. Age greater than 60 years compared to < 30 years (AOR = 4.2, 95% CI: 1.8-9.9), diabetes duration of 5-10 years (AOR = 5.7, 95% CI: 2.6-12.3), and moderate erectile dysfunction (AOR = 6.2, 95% CI: 1.7-22.9) were found to be associated with depression. Conclusion: According to this study, 15% of adult diabetic men suffer from depression. The study also found that the prevalence of depression increased with age, protracted sickness, and moderate erectile dysfunction.
