Effectiveness of Diabetes Self-Management Education Programs for US Latinos at Improving Emotional Distress: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in The Diabetes educator, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07145983 (Peer Support Intervention Effect on Medication Adherence, Self-care and Knowledge Among Patients With Diabetes), which is not on this map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
purposeThis systematic review examined whether diabetes self-management education (DSME) interventions for US Latino adults improve general emotional distress (eg, depression symptoms) and/or health-specific emotional distress (eg, diabetes distress). The topic is important given the high prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM), concomitant distress, and worse health outcomes among Latinos and considering the barriers that distress poses for effective diabetes self-management.
methodsFollowing PRISMA guidelines, a search of the online databases PsycINFO, CINAHL, PubMed, and CENTRAL was conducted from database inception through April 2018. A comprehensive search strategy identified trials testing DSME interventions for US Latinos with T2DM that reported on changes in general or health-specific emotional distress. Risk of bias was assessed using the EPHPP Quality Assessment Tool. Raw mean differences ( D) and effect sizes ( d) were computed where possible.
resultsFifteen studies were included in the review. Six of 8 studies that examined depression symptoms reported significant symptom reduction. Of 10 studies that examined health-specific emotional distress, 6 reported significant symptom reduction. Effect sizes ranged from -0.20 to -3.85. Null findings were more readily found among studies with very small sample sizes (n < 30) and studies testing interventions without specific psychosocial content, with little cultural tailoring, with less frequent intervention sessions, and with support sessions lacking concurrent diabetes education. Most studies (11) received a weak rating of evidence quality.
conclusionsThere is an absence of strong evidence to support that DSME programs tailored for Latino adults with T2DM are beneficial for improving emotional distress. Methodologically robust studies are needed.
