Prevalence and factors associated with depression and suicidal ideation among people with diabetes mellitus and hypertension in Uganda.
Article in African health sciences, 2024. 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: Depression and suicide ideation are more common among patients with chronic physical illness including diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HTN). Depression is often undetected, underdiagnosed, and undertreated during routine care and may complicate into suicidal ideation in this population. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of depression and suicidal ideation, and associated factors among people living with DM and/or HTN in Uganda. Methods: We enrolled 512 participants and assessed depression using PHQ-9, and suicidal ideation using item 9 of PHQ-9. We run logistic regression models to determine the factors associated with depression and suicidal ideation among those with DM only, HTN only or both. Results: The overall prevalence of depression and suicidal ideation was 22.07% and 10%, respectively. Among participants with both DM&HTN the prevalence of depression was 26.3% while 30.4% had comorbid suicidal ideation. Fear of complications (AOR = 7.21; 95% CI =2.68-19.39; p = 0.01) was significantly associated with depression. Adherence on antidiabetic medications (AOR = 0.10; 95% CI = 0.02-0.72; p = 0.02) was protective against depression. Conclusion: The prevalence of depression and suicidal ideation among patients with DM and/or HTN in Uganda is high.
